EXTGALLERY FRONTDAY1.ALFONSO, a pompous,  high strung and easily agitated gallery tour guide, goes to the gallery door and switches the sign on the door from ‘closed’ to ‘open’.2.INTLOBBYDAY2.ALFONSO moves to stand next to a welcome sign. He is waiting to welcome the gallery’s patrons, clicking his pen all the while. Nobody comes. He looks up at the ticking clock. Then at his watch, growing steadily more anxious. Several hours pass. He moves back to the front door and shrugs a sigh of disappointment.As he goes to turn the open sign back to closed, a YOUNG GIRL enters. ALFONSO scratches his chin, while contemplating whether to give the girl the tour or not. His blood shot eyes gaze down at the girl as she smiles back up at him.He gives a nod of approval then leads her into the gallery.3.INTGALLERY DAY3.He rushes her past a variety of artworks, mumbling briefly about each one before grabbing her arm and pulling her off to the next. There are sculptures, painting etc.-The YOUNG GIRL leans in to have a closer look at a painting but ALFONSO pulls her back and indicates the red sash placed between her and the painting.-She reaches to touch a sculpture but he slaps her hand before she gets too close.-He stands in front of a large painting, which is quite dull compared to the other pieces. This is his favourite, he begins mumbling on and on about it, but he soon turns around to see the YOUNG GIRL has disappeared. ALFONSO’s pupils dilate and he begins clicking his pen furiously.4.INTTREE INSTALLATIONDAY4.The YOUNG GIRL enters a large room. In the centre of the room there is a giant tree installation. It is a tranquil indoor haven with a beam of light shining down from the roof. She gazes up at the tree in awe.ALFONSO enters to find the girl sitting at the base of the tree.He rolls his eyes and angrily points to the exit and kicks the girl out.FADE TO:5.EXTPARKDAY5.ALFONSO is seated on a park bench to eat his lunch. There are other adult business workers about eating lunch as well. He and people around him are being feverishly harassed by masses of flies.He sees the YOUNG GIRL seated nearby eating her lunch. She isn’t covered with flies like everyone else.He looks at her, wondering why the flies are leaving her alone.She shows him. She breaks off a piece of her lunch and places it for the flies to eat.She then breaks off a piece of her lunch to feed ALFONSO’s flies. The YOUNG GIRL sits next to ALFONSO and they eat there lunch together in peace.6.INTTREE INSTALLATION 2DAY6.ALFONSO sits calmly beneath the tree installation, his pen in his pocket.Compensation: IF any revenue or prize money is made, it will be distributed amongst the team via a percentage of profit based on your role in the team.
