Mothers Day: The Development

Treatment

Act 1.

The scene opens with a plain decorated Mothers Day card with the default

message inside being stuffed into an envelope. We follow the envelope being

carelessly tossed into a postbox.

Act 2.

Ren goes to wait for the bus at the bus stop beside the postbox with a rose in his

hand. A little girl is already sitting there with her hands clasping something on

her chest. Ren pays no mind. The little girl begins sniffling and soon after the

noise starts to irritate Ren. Annoyed, Ren looks to find out what her problemis.

Roux shows Ren the locket with a picture of her Mother inside. A tear drops onthe picture.

Ren feels sorry for Roux and wants to comfort her, the only thing he can think

to do is to give the little girl the rose he was carrying.

Ren hands his rose to Roux. Roux looks at Ren with large upset eyes and

slowly take the flower and hugs him.

Shocked at first Ren isnt sure how to react, but he eventually rubs the little girl

on the head. He thinks about his own Mother and realises that he treats her as Ifshe were dead already.

Act 3.

Inside A quaint house we stare at a door with an envelope sticking out. After a

while knocking can be heard on the door. A little old lady comes and opens the

door and lo and behold Ren stands there holding a bunch of roses a little girl

and a happy grin, with a little girly suitcase at the doorstep with a rose attachedto it.
