Act 1
A young faceless woman is looking at a plant. A flickering light
distracts her. The woman looks over and sees a shadow of a figure.
She walks towards it. The shadow moves slowly. Curious, the woman
follows.
The woman walks through a transparent wooden frame and finds
herself surrounded by furniture. A table, a sofa, a lamp, a rug,
almost as if someone lives there. Both the figure and the woman
plays hide and seek. The figure disappears behind the sofa. The
woman goes behind and finds it. The figure disappears under the
rug, the woman looks under the rug and the shadow comes out on
the other side. The figure stops and so does the woman. We see the
shadow reaches its hand out slowly to the woman as if their shadow
is about to make contact. Just as they make contact, the shadow
figure disappears.
We see the woman looking behind the chair, under the table, behind
the lamp, under the rug. Nothing is there. The woman slowly sits on
the sofa. As time passes we see the woman sitting on the sofa
curled up looking at the wooden frame. Light and shadows of
furniture going around her as if days had passed by. Close ups of
flowers wilting. Vines begin to grow up the womans feet and legs.
Chains begin to appear on the womans masked face. Vines growing
on the legs pulling the woman to the ground. Close up images of
thorns piercing through the womans arms, chains strangling the
womans neck, vines wrapping tightly against the womans body,
close up of plastic film covering the womans mouth, knife slicing her
chest. A continuous shot of chains binding her wrists, down to her
neck, down her body and then feet. Camera pulls back to a long
shot of the woman chained down to the ground laying on her back
facing up. A shot of film wrapped tightly around her mouth gasping
for air. Camera moves around her face in a circular motion.
Act 2
A ringing sound begins. The screen goes dark as we see the shot of
the womans eyes as she closes them. The screen goes white.
Continuous ringing that clears the air in the room.
Act 3
A shot of the womans eyes as she is opening them. Her costume
has changed to white. She looks more beautiful than ever. Her mask
has also changed. Mid-shot of her getting up from the position we
see her last. She is in an open location. The woman overlooks the
ocean. Camera moves around from the back of her to see behind
her. The shot of a wooden frame as it disappears.
