The goal of this film is to show how even though people are very different from one another, we are still all humans and should not treat anyone less equally because of their background or the environment they were raised in.
This short opens up with Eleanor sitting at dinner with her husband Frank (The point of this scene is to show how upper class the society they live in actually is). They gracefully get up and return to their sophisticated mansion.
END SCENE
The next scene is her tossing and turning, having a repeated dream of an alternate society. A society she has no recollection of.
In the dream, two people are standing together by a serene pond where they fall in love for the first time.
Eleanor wakes up in a panic and looks around terrifyingly confused. END SCENE
FLASHBACK
A man gives a woman a flower and holds her in his arms
END FLASHBACK
She goes to her best friend the following day and explains to her the situation she is in. Her friend laughs at her and says “Darling, you need to not eat such disgusting food before you go to bed! Keep those weird dreams out of your head!” and then changes the topic of conversation, leaving Eleanor more curious about the dream than before. Taking her to the place that she saw at the end of her dream, a quaint little abandoned pond.
END SCENE
FLASHBACK
A war torn society tears the two people in love a part leaving one in high society and the other in low society. Then a powerful looking man stands on a podium and brainwashes them to forget the other society that is separate from them now.
END FLASHBACK
When she steps closer to the water at the pond, she is sucked into it and lands hard on unfamiliar ground. She looks around confused and tries to get the attention of the closest person, but no one is answering her. Eleanor realizes she is invisible, so she starts to wander around and figure out where she is. After a while she comes to the conclusion this was the place in her dream so she takes off back to her world.
END SCENE
When she returns to the other world, she is walking around and she experiences a glitch in her invisibility. At first she doesn’t realize she is visible to the human eye, then a homeless looking man named Stan walks straight up to her and pinches her to see if what he just saw was real life. They begin to talk and understand what is going on. Eleanor decides to try and figure out why they had no idea the other existed.
END SCENE
She goes back to her society and ends up on the news saying “Let’s make a difference, a change in the way things have been” The final scene is Stan walking up to Frank (hesitantly) and then Frank stretches out his hand and Stan shakes it.
END SCENE
Visual Treatment: the present parts of the film will be warm colors mixed with some dark shadows, while the flashbacks and dream will have a sepia filter to represent the past.
