Final Outline

The whole movie is about a family who degraded because of the husband's abusive behavior. After their marriage the couple found out that they can't have children, because of the woman's condition. It significantly affected their relationship. Because of her inability and several external reasons the man started to behave aggressively. Domestic violence became frequent. Unable to find a way out the woman's mental health was getting worse. After a particularly bad brawl, she decided to stab the man in his sleep, tie him up and take revenge for all the inflicted suffering and ruining of her life. We were partly inspired by Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" based on Stephen King's novel.

Here is the step outline of our opening scene. A woman is listening to music and cuts vegetables in a kitchen. As she moves around to take ingredients or tools we see a blurry figure or a shadow in the background, so the audience assumes that this figure is the antagonist and the lady is in danger. When she continues to cook, the viewer notices bruises and cuts on the side of her face, connoting that she was a victim of abuse. Suddenly she hears a noise in the dinning hall and takes a knife as if to protect herself. Following the noise she finds her husband, covered in blood with his legs taped, who tries to open the door. At that point the roles of a victim and a villain swap, the woman grabs him by the legs and pulls back to the dinning room. As she does it the audience can see the blood path that he left crawling to the door. She places him back in a chair and wraps his hands to the armrests with a tape. After a pause she goes back to the kitchen and continues cooking. The man attempts to loosen the ties, she hears it, starts to chop faster to emphasise the sound and turns around with a knife with a knife in her hand. Blackout.
