Synopsis:
Our film revolves around a man who exaggerates his life’s problems but in a twist of fate switches bodies with someone who is in a worse situation than he was in previously. The conflict of the film is this man desperately trying to get his own body (and life) back. In 5 minutes, we wish to convey the importance of appreciating your own circumstances in life.
Character Profiles:
Henderson:
An average, short-tempered, working man, Henderson is often disillusioned with his own life although he lives better than most. Unfortunately, his many complaints cause him to lose everything he’s known as he is suddenly switched out of his body into another’s.
Rob:
A troubled vagrant with no particular purpose in life, Rob lives in a tiny apartment with his alcoholic friend, Jimmy. Luck befalls him as he is bodily switched with Henderson, who gets to experience his life.
Jimmy:
Rob’s roommate and friend, Jimmy’s bi-polar personality and desire to escape reality results in him being seldom sober. Alcohol helps him maintain his cheerful, easygoing personality and suppress his crippling, maniac depressive side.
