ACT I: THE UNRAVELLING INT. METROPOLIS – DAY – 2027A synthetic skyline glows with digital perfection. Floating taxis hum overhead. Billboards show celebrities performing stunts — faces flawless, movements smooth… until they glitch. It's all generated. A couple watches their daughter's school performance — the girl dances on screen. Then the mum says quietly: MOTHERShe didn’t even go to school today. FATHER (shrugs)Still feels real. NARRATION (VO):"We were promised infinite content. Infinite connection. Instead, we lost the plot... and each other." INT. TRUTH AUDIT CENTRE – DAYCitizens queue to submit personal videos, trying to confirm a conversation, an encounter, a crime. Cold AI agents review footage. One woman pleads: WOMANMy son confessed. I have it here. AI AGENTTimestamp mismatch. Visual signature inconclusive. Memory invalidated. She collapses. Another brick in a wall of eroded trust. INT. DIGITAL ART STUDIO – NIGHTA young artist named SOHLA scrolls her portfolio. Paintings. Animations. All dismissed by clients as "style copies." Her phone lights up: MESSAGE:Nice work. Midjourney prompt? She throws her tablet. EXT. CITY STREET – EVENINGJalen, late 30s, shaggy, former war correspondent, now runs a makeshift booth: “REAL STORIES ONLY”. No one stops. Deepfakes play on loop in the background. A protest breaks out — no slogans, just primal yelling. Everyone livestreams, no one listens. VO:"Truth drowned in the noise of infinite content." ACT II: THE SPARK INT. UNIVERSITY BASEMENT – NIGHTMARA VOSS, 40s, neurotech researcher, works alone. Her whiteboard is a spider web of ideas: Quantum-anchored memory, Biometric synchronisation, Trust anchors. She's talking to her AI assistant: MARATruth isn’t logic. It’s resonance. What you feel when you're there. AIResonance is not falsifiable. MARAExactly. That’s why it’s real. A warning light flashes. Funding withdrawn. Her credentials revoked. She shuts down the lab. INT. UNDERGROUND NODE HUB – NIGHTJalen and Mara meet through an old contact. He’s skeptical: JALENYou think tech can fix what tech destroyed? MARANot fix. Prove. What if memories were tamper-proof? Time-bound, emotional, sensorial — fused with reality itself? JALEN (pause)Show me. They attend a quiet vigil. A child lost in a bombing — no footage survived. But Mara activates her prototype. SeenDrop v0.1. INT. VIGIL – NIGHTHer wristband syncs. Breath patterns. Heartbeats. Environmental light. Every emotional signature from the crowd encoded. Later, the SeenDrop is uploaded. It’s… alive. A short loop that feels like standing there. INT. FORUM THREAD – NIGHTHundreds respond: COMMENT 1I cried. No idea why. COMMENT 2Is this real? Or... more than real? COMMENT 3I remembered my brother’s funeral from five years ago. Same rain. VO:"A new kind of memory. A new kind of proof." ACT III: THE RESISTANCE MONTAGE: A deaf couple SeenDrops their wedding — vibrations and movement captured. A street artist SeenDrops their process — viewers feel the tension, the risk. A dying man leaves a final SeenDrop for his son — "Remember me with this." INT. GOVERNMENT COUNCIL – NIGHTPolicy debate. Hysteria. COUNCILMAN 1This undermines national security. It’s unverifiable proof! COUNCILWOMAN 2No — it’s personal sovereignty. Corporates demand licensing. Media conglomerates sue. Mara is doxxed. Jalen is arrested. INT. PRISON CELL – NIGHTJalen records a message on a contraband SeenDrop band: JALENIf you're watching this, it’s proof I didn’t break. Not just content. Presence. INT. HACKLAB – NIGHTSohla and others create Truthkeeper Nodes. Decentralised SeenDrop backups. The protocol is now open-source. Anonymous devs call it the last firewall against the Simulation Age. ACT IV: THE REBIRTH INT. ROOFTOP – DAWNMara, in hiding. Sohla finds her. Shows her something. A living avatar built from her SeenDrops. It glows, stumbles, regains balance. It's her. SOHLAThey tried to kill your presence. But it’s here. INT. SCHOOLS, PARKS, STADIUMS – MONTAGESeenDrop bands become symbolic — kids gifting their first drop to their parents. Soldiers recording peacekeeping moments. Refugees capturing their new beginnings. The world isn't healed. But it’s anchored again. EPILOGUE: 2032 – CLIFFSIDE, MORNING Mara’s daughter, LYA, now 9, prepares her first SeenDrop. They watch a sunrise. LYADo you think anyone will watch it? MARAThat’s not the point. You’ll know you were here. That’s what matters. Lya presses her palm to the SeenDrop stone. Her avatar appears — shimmering, glowing faintly. New. Hers. VO:"Your avatar becomes your living journal.No filters. No fakes. Just the real you — shaped by what you’ve truly done, seen, and felt." Final Frame:The camera pulls back. Earth seen from orbit. A living constellation of SeenDrops — pulsing, shimmering, human. VO (CONT'D):"SeenDrop.Proof you were there.Stories only real life can write."
