Synopsis for Trailer

The narrative of our trailer begins with a boyfriend going to visit his girlfriend. He is fiercely jealous of her, and suspicious that she may have been cheating with another man… even though she hasn’t.  He confronts her demanding an explanation and she asks that they break up from each other. This makes the boyfriend fly into a rage and she begins to strangle her. Ask she whispers: “I haven’t cheated on you…  I haven’t cheated on you…” he strangles her until she collapses to the ground. She falls to the ground, near death, and whispers “I love you… I still love you.” Shocked by his moment of rage, the boyfriend leans over and shakes her. She’s now dead. He kisses her on the forehead, tears running down his face. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” He panics and rushes to the garden. Looking around frantically, he sees a shovel resting against the shed. He begins to dig the hole that he will bury her in…

He sobs by the graveside, but manages to get away with the crime. However, he haunted by the memory of his girlfriend. He suffers nightmares during the following weeks, waking with the memory of her imprinted in his mind. To try to find some solace, he visits a tarot card reader. The first card she turns over is “death” and he shudders, feeling that he may have been discovered. The next card she turns over is “justice,” suggesting that his crime will soon be discovered. The last card she turns over is “the fool” and she looks him intently in the eyes.
He goes home and starts to drink. He gingerly takes the first shot, but continues to drink with increasing speed. By the twelfth shot he staggers around and falls onto the bed, and suddenly his girlfriend is lying next to him.  She whispers “I still love you.” He blinks his eyes and she disappears. He blacks out.

In the morning, the man goes to the shower. We hear the sound of the shower and the bathroom window starts to steam up. In the mirror, the words “I used to love you” are animated into it.  She places her hands on his face as though to go and kiss him, but slowly digs her nails into his face, drawing downwards leaving bloody scratches. He looks at her, shocked, crying. The ghost of the girlfriend disappears as he turns around frantically looking for her. Suddenly she appears again right in front of his face, “But I hate you now.” She screams.


Hysterically, he runs around the house, entering every room. However with every room he enters she’s standing there in front of him. Finally when leaving a room he sees her at the end of the hall and stops. They share eye contact as she slowly moves towards him. Then, with her point of view shot we see her hands shoot for his neck.
