Screenplay & Script
Hello Readers!
The following is the screenplay of our film opening:
Scene 1:
The protagonist loses himself to a Sufi dance in the shower, fully dressed, breaking down. He’s transported to a parallel universe where he escapes, he sees himself on a swing; albeit that too, is broken.
Scene 2:
He is interrupted by a phone call from his mom, he gets out of the shower and changes into his uniform.
Scene 3:
He joins his parents at the dining table for breakfast, who are amidst a heated argument. He quietly has his meal, emotionally numb, yet has tears in his eyes.
Scene 3:
He sits in a car with his father, the two travel to his school but no dialogue is shared. He places a notebook on the dashboard of the car.
Scene 4:
He gets off the car and forgets the notebook. As soon as he walks into his institute, he realized his missing notebook and goes back to get it.
Scene 5:
He gets out to see his father driving out of the parking lot with another woman getting into the car. He’s so deeply disturbed by the sight of his father cheating on his mother that he loses himself to dance, again, in the middle of the road and tries to go back, but is unable to and breaks down.

Since no dialogues
are shared amongst any of the characters throughout the opening, there is a
voiceover of two of Mawlana Rumi’s poems befitting the concept of Rumi’s Protégé.
This can be the script for the narrator’s narration:
The water of lifeIs concealed as a divine giftInside this bodyAnd that’s why you can’t see itThe self has gone and placedA seal on this heartAnd hid love away foreverBreak the sealSave the loveWhy are you so afraid?There are secret paths in the heartGo find the belovedGo and find yourself
I’m a crazy, insane and ruined manHold my handBecause of you I’m utterly confusedAnd my head is spinningHold my handEvery poor, invalid is looked after by someoneI’m your poor and needy friendHold my hand
