Synopsis The opening of our psychological thriller Saving Grace starts with a 15-year-old girl in an ancient but well kept church, praying and repeating scriptures from the bible. She is alone in this large church with only the light from the candles on her face. Throughout this part of the opening of the film we have a young woman at the age of 30 named Gwen getting ready for a night out at a wine bar. Both of these scenes cut at different times
between the two peoples scenario. There is then a frame of movement of this young girl leaving the church and continuing her motion of mumbling and speaking to herself (her face at this point is not revealed). Through further discussion, my group and I have decided to just focus the opening two minutes being surrounded by Grace in the church alone. However we are keeping to one of our original points of not revealing any of the characters faces in the opening, and now that the opening only involves Grace, her face will be unknown to the audience, but her actions made clear. The main story involves the journey of a young girl who believes that society is in many ways corrupt, but is deeply attached to her religion. She ends up trying to commit suicide, due to her believing that life is not worth living, but gets saved by a young man who gives her guidance and shows her that there is more to life. Grace finds some form of identification of the man and due to him saving her feels the great need to return it. As she does so she is shocked to find that his partner who was also at the tram stop when the man saved her is committing the sin of adultery. Due to Grace strict obsession with her religion she begins her journey of stalking by sending messages and watching this womans every move, in the attempt to change her into a pure woman, after a while Grace realizes that this woman is not taking her messages seriously, and takes things into her own hands. Gwen however is shown to be going crazy and becoming psychologically confused, due to the people around her telling her that she is not being stalked. Gwen takes many strategies in order to reveal her stalker to everyone, but however is always un-successful due to Grace knowing her every move and schedule. Her stalking goes to a next level, and it sadly ends in Grace taking both her and Gwendlyn life due to Grace thinking that they are both better not on the earth, due to Grace not being successful in changing Gwen. Grace believes that Gwen did not take each message seriously that she sent, and in the eyes of the God they have both committed sin, so they no longer belong on Earth.
