Act One:

The first act sets up the world and the characters.

It begins with a fictional documentary

that explores the rise of semantic terrorism in different parts of the world.

including propaganda,

linguistic manipulation, and mind control.

We are introduced to Doctor Michael, tasked with treating Sara,

a patient with a dissociative identity disorder.

Through his research on music,

he discovers that upbeat music can positively affect victims of mind control abuse.

Act Two

: In the second act,

Doctor Michael’s research has become increasingly important

as the regime seeks to keep it hidden from the public.

Doctor Sophia, who is living inside Sara,

helps Doctor Michael develop a platform for social, digital peer support

that connects Doctor Wafa’s Lacanian theory work

with his music and mindfulness research.

The regime arrests the three when people begin to use the platform,

and they must escape to a makeshift bomb shelter before World War III begins.

Act Three:

In the final act, the three people are trapped in the bomb shelter,

waiting for the bombs to fall.

Doctor Sophia, who is still living inside Sara

, reveals her ideas for the platform through pieces of paper,

and the three realize they can use it to help people resist

the effects of semantic terrorism.

They manage to escape from the prison,

reach the bomb shelter, and share a final kiss as the bombs explode and

Guantanamera plays in the background.

Themes: The main themes of the screenplay are propaganda,

linguistic manipulation, mind control, resilience, the power of positive thinking, and the importance of community and support.
