A drawing of marriage



We live in a world full of mices

Script for Aarhus Film Competition - topics: ilusion, car


It's a story of a car toy; I will refer to it as "she" :) So she stays in a toy store quite on a shelf.
SEQUENCE 1, TOY STORE
 The film starts with close-ups of many toys from a toy store. They suddenly start talking to each other about where they want to go.
One of them is asking the God of toys:
I want to be in the hands of a good child, that takes care of me and puts me on the most visible shelf from the house so everybody can see me;
The doll
I want a rich family to buy me. The girl must be fashion addicted because I don’t like my outfit and I realy need a new one
The plane
I want to be in a big  yard so it can fly
Teddy bear
I want a place where there aren't animals, because I don’t want to be the bitch of some dog, or worst of a cat.
The car
I only wish a child that doesn't destroy it.
 In the same time somebody grabs the car am puts it into a basket.
SEQUENCE 2, APARTMENT
Shoots are filmed from the point of view of the car. The man that bought her arrives at home and puts the bag somewhere. The car's heart beats really loud because she is waiting to see her next owner.
 We here the voice of the man that talks with his wife. Somebody takes the box and opens it. It’s the wife. She is mad with her husband that he bought a toy car and not an educative game. We hear the voice and steps of a child that steps down the stairs. He takes the car out of the box. The car's heart is beating louder and louder. The boy looks straight at the car with a sadistic look.

The car
OH NO
 He starts playing with it. His parents advice him to say thanks for the gift. They nag him because of his behaviour and they take the car and put it on a shelf so the child can't reach it. The car is happy now.
SEQUENCE 3, APARTMENT
One morning the child starts building his way up to the car. The puts a chair to reach it.
The car is saying first:
No you won't reach me. Ha ha ha.You won't have the chance to destroy me. Na an na na.
 We see then that the child puts some books on the chair and tries again to reach the car. He can't do it. He is annoyed about this and the car is happy.
The car:
No, you won't touch me again. I will just spend the rest of my life on this shelf.
The child tries again. His father comes into the living room.
The car:
ha, what were you thinking little boy, that you can just take me and play with me? It's about time some adult handle this situation. Bad boy!
His father actually takes the car and gives it to the child.
The car:
NO NO NO I trusted you!
SEQUENCE 4, APARTMENT
The boy threats the car bad. He throws she into the wall. Parts of the car are falling.
The car:
Ouch, ouch, don't do this....
In the end the car is laying exhausted on the floor, tea red apart in many pieces.
SEQUENCE 5
The mother takes all the pieces and somehow feels sorry for them and puts them intro a bag into the garbage outside the house. Time-lapse - the night passes. A guy who is searching for garbage finds next day the pieces. He brings them to his place and starts building something.
SEQUENCE 6

Last shoot is with the car who on a garbage box. The car is convertible. The man built a new car from the old parts. It looks different, but it's the same car. The heart of the car starts beating again.
