Blossom (Film)

Blossom is a film that takes places shortly after Headhunter. The film follows a man who falls in love with his own reflection as another man finds himself at the helm of the city's most powerful crime syndicate.

Summary:

The film begins with a office worker (credited as Epic Retro Gamer) going to work. He is a genuinely kind man, giving change to the homeless and congratulating a young couple for finding love, but he cannot find any joy in his acts of kindness. One day, he pulls out his Gameboy at work and begins to play Mario instead of doing his work. After turning off the game, he sees his reflection in the Gameboy and immediately becomes infatuated with it. Over time, he begins to perceive his Gameboy as his lover and loses all connection with reality.

Around the time Epic Retro Gamer (ERG) undergoes this transformation, Alan Stanford finds himself at the helm of the Stanford Syndicate, the city's most powerful crime syndicate. His father, Bradley Stanford, was an efficient leader, establishing dominion over a wide swath of the city. However, Alan does not share this competence, turning to Google to help him run his crime syndicate. One day, while Alan is googling how to run his newly inherited syndicate, a hitman for the syndicate (credited as The Goon) reveals that they now control the entire Western half of the city and looks for orders on what to do next. On a whim, Alan decides to ban Gameboys from all areas controlled by the syndicate. The Goon, initially confused by this order, eventually rushes out of the syndicate's headquarters to inform the inhabitants of the syndicate's territory.

One day, while at work, ERG was playing on his Gameboy at work when the Goon barges in and announces that the building is now under Stanford syndicate control. The Goon then announces that 1) all citizens are to only pay taxes to Alan Stanford and 2) all Gameboys are now banned. ERG, who barely hides his Gameboy in time, rushes off to have his Gameboy cosmetically altered. After hours of searching, he finds a back-alley doctor to perform plastic surgery on his Gameboy. Eventually, ERG runs into the Goon, who inspects his Gameboy. The Goon, believing that the Gameboy is a mobile phone, eventually gives it back to ERG.
