The action takes place in a train. The film will consist of one shot, approximately 3 minutes long.
Two parents, a little girl and a drunk are seated on opposite benches in a train. The drunk is asleep, the two parents are very focused on their work (the father works on his laptop and the mother corrects some paper work) and the little girl is playing with her cloth doll while trying to get mummy and daddy’s attention. The parents are so caught in their work that they do not notice anything around them. The drunk wakes up at some point and tries to make the little girl laugh. He makes funny faces, noises etc. The little girl doesn’t like the drunk; she takes out a water pistol and shoots him, but the drunk’s chest gets covered in blood and he dies. The parents still don’t notice anything.
Throughout the whole film, the viewer’s attention will be constantly swapping from the action inside the train to the scenery in the background. This will be done by directing the actors in accordance with the train’s movement: if the train passes through an area with trees or buildings along the tracks, the focus will be on what is happening inside and this will also be reflected in the window. When the train enters an open field the action inside will subtly stop and the focus will move on the scenery outside.
