Synopsis

Okay, I totally forgot to blog about my synopsis. Anyway, here goes mine...

Sasha thought that her Mom’s second marriage night could never get any worse than anything. There she was, sitting in a madly large grand suite hotel room, wearing her silly pink bridesmaid’s gown, waiting for the wedding reception. She didn’t care if her soon-to-be father has 2 mansions or 3 horses or a private jet, she could and would never be able to approve him. It’s been 10 years since her father left, and Sasha had been happy enough just to live with her mother.

Just when Sasha walked into the elevator, a mysterious man tapped her shoulder. It was him; it was her long lost father. In contemplation between being nostalgic and traumatic, Sasha cried. Apparently her father came to tell the truth about her Mom, the reason behind the marriage and… her real father.

The point that I'm emphasizing in my synopsis is basically Sasha's point of view of the surroundings. I want the readers to know what Sasha feels. The loneliness that's growing inside her with the portrait of a large suite hotel room and how she feels about the marriage pictured through the silliness of her pink bridesmaid dress. It's not only about the dress, the whole idea of the marriage is stupid. She doesn't like it.

Anyway, I wanted to end my story ambiguously by letting Sasha's father to reveal the truth about him. That he's not her father and he's trying to do a bit of an inappropriate thing, like trying to molest Sasha. I will end it before that happens, of course. However, as Christine said, it would be better if the "revealing truth" is related to the marriage.

I am, and still, trying to think about an appalling truth that is not cliche but still interesting. Ended up with a quite complicated end and it's merely impossible to do through a short film, maybe a TV series would do, but yeah...

Christine led me to a better idea by using the idea of "the soon-to-be father is actually still/already have a family". But I can't come up with a good thing, it's still too cliche for me!
