The Stolen Goods
In the bustling city of Leeds, Aje and Ronke are
cousins who are currently in university. Aje is 20, studying Microbiology, and
in her first year at university, after taking out a gap year to work. Ronke is
22, studying Journalism and Media.
The story shows how small, petty annoyances and
greed can affect a relationship with a person.
Aje is calm, kind and someone who is slow to react
and does not seek confrontation.
Her sister, Ronke, is loud, is kind to others only
for her personal benefit and boastful.
She is a curious woman, who seeks a story behind
every incident; this is her driving passion behind studying Journalism.
Aje wishes to help cure major diseases like Lupus.
Ronke is very demanding, she does not understand
common boundaries and is not aware when she has upset someone.
Ronke lately has been taking Aje’s food without
permission or even informing her when the food has run out. This caused Aje
trouble because she did not have certain ingredients needed when it came to
cooking. She knew or at least wished
that Ronke would replace the items she finished but a month pasted and having
left a note on her bedside table, Ronke still had not replaced the food.
Then she called her mother, who she knew Ronke
would have to listen. Ronke still did not replace her food, but bought her a
chocolate bar.
Aje still could not imagine confronting her,
because she did not want to deal with another outburst from Ronke. Remembering
that time still left her scarred, Ronke’s voice reached unknown volume levels.
Aje then thought of a way of evening the score,
after she spoke to her aunty she took all the ingredients and food from Ronke’s
cupboard and placed it in her room. Aje also hid the toiletries to show Ronke
how it feels to have your possessions stolen.
Above are images of a rough version of the shot list for the film. I am still editing it so changes are being made.
