The opening scene shows Chubby Wubby given the gold medal at the ceremony of Academic Games, then the second scene opens on the wake up, so?the ceremony could a dream...

Chubby Wubby is ?a?10?years old girl.

By the way, I didn't found how to enter?the tilte of the story.

Thanks.

Thanks. That explains it.

But ...

"the movie opening is an ordinary wake up before breakfast and going to school" ...

Ahum...

Don't do this, JM. EVERY student film opens like this!! ;)

Find a better opening of your film. A hook that will immediately grab us.

NOTHING in a film should be 'ordinary' to the audience, even if it is to the character (their 'Ordinary World').

Hello Karel,

This is a short +?a project for a feature.
Actually, there is no real inciting incident: the movie opening is an ordinary wake up before breakfast and going to school.
The short?is about?one day, the feature could be a social chronicle in the vein of Short Term 12.

I'll try to rewrite something better.
