SCENE 1
EXT. BEACH – NIGHT
A vast shoreline under soft moonlight.
Waves roll in gently, reflecting silver streaks of light.
A MAN (late 20s–30s) sits alone at the edge of the shore.
His clothes are torn. Dried blood stains his shirt.
His face doesn’t show sadness — it shows burnt-out frustration, like a man who has lost belief in life itself.
Music of some random reels sounds from his phone
He holds a quarter liquor bottle.
A wave crashes near him — water splashes onto the bottle.
He casually mixes it and takes a sip.
In his other hand — a phone.
He scrolls endlessly through reels.
ON SCREEN — a girl: VENNELA
Her reels range from funny, random, to chaotic — but something about them sticks.
The man is completely immersed.
The outside world doesn’t exist for him.
Time passes.
He lifts the bottle… shakes it.
Empty.
He raises it toward the moonlight, staring through it.
He checks his pocket and find some money, he keeps that money on sand collecting from all the pockets and he puts everything in pocket again
He tries to stand.
He stumbles… loses balance…
Falls.
CUT TO:
EXT. WINE SHOP – NIGHT
A crowded, noisy wine shop.
Men arguing. Some on phones. Some laughing. Some drunk.
A chaotic, raw environment.
The man walks in, unsteady but determined.
He grabs another bottle.
Turns—
FREEZES.
His face shifts into a shocked, disturbed expression.
FLASH CUTS:
— Vennela’s reels (distorted, unsettling)
— Laughter turning hollow
— Faces glitching into silence
— Emotional fragments
BACK TO SCENE:
His breathing tightens.
The camera slowly tilts—
A large billboard across the road.
VENNELA — in an advertisement (activist / campaign visual).
He stares.
Recognition hits.
Memories rush back.
---
EXT. ROAD OUTSIDE WINE SHOP – NIGHT
He walks toward his bike, bottle in hand.
He notices a MAN nearby.

The moon.

The frame slowly drifts into the moonlight.
