[BLACK SCREEN]

TEXT ON SCREEN:
"Brain: Do you use it to store? Or to ideate?"

[SCENE 1 – INT. ROOM – NIGHT]

Close-up: A laptop screen blinking – “STORAGE FULL. Delete files to


continue.”

A 28-year-old guy (E), half-awake, stares blankly at the screen. The only
light is from the laptop. His room is cluttered with hard drives, wires,
notes.

Suddenly, static.
The screen glitches.

CUT TO:

[SCENE 2 – EXT. KONDA POCHAMMA RESERVOIR – EARLY MORNING]

E walks alone. The water reflects a soft pink sky. Peaceful.


He stops. Looks out at the vastness. Wind brushes his face.

V.O (E):
"I used to come here to think... now I come to forget."

Flash frame: Corrupted folder loading bar stuck at 99%.

[SCENE 3 – INT. METRO STATION – DAY]

Quick cuts:

 Crowd moving like data packets

 Footsteps echoing like hard drive clicks


 E walking against the flow

He sees someone wearing a hoodie—same as him. But the figure disappears in


the crowd.

V.O (E):
"Dreams are just unsaved files... fragments we carry... everywhere."

[SCENE 4 – INT. ROOM – NIGHT]

E opens a folder: “MEMORIES_TO_KEEP”

He double clicks. It opens, but all files are corrupted.


He sighs.

[SCENE 5 – EXT. NEON STREET – NIGHT]

Slow motion:

 Rain falling softly

 Neon signs flickering like RGB errors

 E walks under a board that reads: "BACKUP OR DELETE?"

He looks up. Stops. Smiles faintly.

FLASH CUT – A CHILDHOOD MEMORY

 E as a kid with his dad near a lake.

 Dad says: "Some things you hold, some things you let go..."

[SCENE 6 – EXT. ROOFTOP – SUNRISE]

E stands on a rooftop, eyes closed. Deep breath.


Golden hour light washes his face.

Insert shots:

 He’s dragging files into the trash.

 “Delete Permanently?” prompt. He hesitates.

V.O (E):
"You don’t delete memories. You just stop carrying their weight."

He presses Enter.

[SCENE 7 – EXT. KONDA POCHAMMA RESERVOIR – MORNING AGAIN]

Same frame as before.

This time, E sits still. Peaceful.


Water ripples like data syncing.

He closes his eyes.


Cut to:
His brain’s interior – imagined like a digital room.
One screen reads: “Storage: 46% Used”
Another blinks: "Ready for new ideas."

[SCENE 8 – INT. ROOM – NIGHT]

Back in the room. It’s cleaner.


Laptop screen: "Storage Optimized."

He opens a new document:


"DREAMS_001.txt"

Types:
"What if forgetting is just making space for dreaming?"

[BLACK SCREEN]

TEXT ON SCREEN:
“Free space is not emptiness. It’s readiness.”
