For part of the assessed work, I have to complete a synopsis to hand in with the aims and context.
This is the first draft of my synopsis, in which there is a clear and brief description of the plot. When I get feedback on this draft I will make changes accordingly.
A man is haunted by guilt and possibly something much worse when he realises that the truth could come out about his wife’s brutal death the previous year. Peter Bowers, a seemingly average man, managed to use his quick thinking and manipulative ways to avoid conviction for the murder of his long suffering wife, Maria. Many years have passed and he is living his day to day life feeling no remorse for his actions.
All it takes is a single letter, containing his wife’s engagement ring and an accusing note, to release his subconscious fears of being punished for the murder. Throughout the film he begins to be tormented by hallucinations and apparitions of his long-dead wife all the while battling with his guilt and fear of who knows of the murder, the details of which are revealed throughout his hallucinations.
After attempting to go on the run and again being supposedly haunted and stopped by what he believes to be his wife’s spirit, the audience are left wondering whether the built-up guilt and fear of exposure caused a mental breakdown, leading to the hallucinations, or whether it was his wife’s spirit acting in revenge for what he had committed.
