Chapter 1 - THE PUNCH
Planned length: 950 words
Open exactly on the video scene.
Vanessa tears off her own buttons, ruins her hair, drops to the floor and screams.
Daniel, Helen, and the relatives rush in.
Vanessa makes the accusation.
Richard tries to explain.
Daniel refuses to hear one sentence and punches his father.
Richard's lip splits.
He does not fight back.
He only asks:
“You really believe I’m that kind of man?”
Then Richard notices Vanessa's tiny smile behind Daniel's shoulder.
For the first time, he understands that this was not panic.
It was planned.
