Synopsis

Olivia is a London dancer living in Manhattan, she is going to audition on Broadway and is preparing for that day, she makes demands on herself and puts aside some aspects of her life, including her love life and her feelings. A Broadway musical producer assigned her the responsibility of auditioning with one of the pieces of the musical, but the pandemic now has stopped all projects and they are preselecting dancers through video and very few and limited face-to-face sessions. For now, Broadway theaters are closed, which has led Olivia to prepare from her apartment. During her rehearsals, she dances to a song at high volume to the point that it can be heard in other apartments, prompting a mysterious man who lives in apartment 27 on the third floor to send her letters that he leaves under her door, where he writes that he is intrigued by something in the lyrics of the song she plays every day. What will happen to Olivia, her Broadway aspirations and the mysterious man?

Program Note

I have been writing screenplays and shooting my short films for 17 years. This script was born inspired by an event that happened some years ago and that was a discovery of something important for the history of mankind, but the essence of the script is not about that discovery specifically, but they are connected. I used the character of a dancer and a mysterious man in apartment 27 to develop a story of motivation in a pandemic scenario, where you leave everything to fulfill your most desired dream. What does this mysterious man in apartment 27 do or bring us? Simple, you will have to buy the script.
