Watermelon Love Song

In a labyrinthine penal colony where perfect posture means survival, a single seed challenges the absurd machinery of oppression.

Welcome to Convict Country—a Kafkaesque realm of bureaucratic torture where prisoners die at the first bend of their backs, their lives broadcast as entertainment for the outside world’s cramped masses.

When a defiant newcomer discovers a watermelon seed at the threshold, an illogical, surreal rebellion begins. In this grotesquely ordered society where humans are reduced to pill-consuming spectators, the seed becomes both metaphor and mission.

As convicts navigate the bizarre, paradoxical rules of their punishment, their desperate cultivation effort transforms into something the system never calculated: meaning.

*A strangely sweet, darkly whimsical tale of humanity flowering in sterile soil—where the most irrational act becomes the only sane response to an incomprehensibly rational world.
