The Brass Teapot (2012)

In the throes of a bleak economic landscape, Alice and John Macy, a vibrant young couple, are battling the tides of financial hardship. John, a hapless telemarketer, toils away in a soulless company, hoping to support Alice through college and her ambitious pursuit of a top-tier career. But with job prospects scarce and John's dismissal from his job, their dreams begin to wane. In a twist of fate, a minor car accident outside an antique shop introduces Alice to a peculiar brass teapot. Overwhelmed by an inexplicable compulsion, she swipes it, unknowingly setting in motion a chain of events that will change their lives. The teapot, more than just a charming antique, possesses a mystical power - it produces money whenever the couple inflicts pain upon themselves. As they grapple with their newfound fortune, they are confronted by Dr. Ling. He warns them of the teapot's malevolent force, urging them to relinquish it before it consumes them in its destructive vortex. Alice, ensnared by greed, plunges into a dizzying descent of ruthlessness, refusing to heed his warning. "The Brass Teapot," based on the riveting comic book series, explores the couple's moral dilemma: How far will they go to realize their dreams? In this enchanting narrative of ambition, greed and consequence, Alice and John find themselves questioning the true price of their desires. Their story serves as a poignant reminder: power, like a double-edged sword, can either save or destroy, depending on who wields it.
