Agreed with Erica and Judah.
Best to use commonly understood terms for clarity’s sake, rather than obscure, albeit technically correct, ones.
If the A plot is about him saving the house then the love story could be omitted from the logline – it feels like you’re trying to describe two plots.
You describe his return to Greece as the inciting incident, but according to your explanation, it should be the house being put up for sale. Him returning to Greece is, therefore, a subsequent action he takes on his way to achieving the goal.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel that the problem is (to quote McKee) not story worthy – a character being nostalgic and not wanting the grandparents home sold means: worst case home is sold, best case it isn’t – not much gained, lost or learned by the MC.
Could there be more at stake? Perhaps developers wanting to flatten the neighborhood? Or, the house sits on a large estate and the nature reserve is at stake? As long as there is something more than just him feeling a bit better or worse about the official ownership of the house.
I love movies set in Grece. A few questions.. I am also confused by the first sentence. An unemployed what? Also, “sandbox love” is a term I’ve never heard before. Is the broker he meets selling the house? You may want to tighten this one up before submitting.
I’m a little confused on what a “nostalgic unemployed” is.? Also I’m not sure what is meant by “sandbox love”.? I think this may have a potential for a cute romantic story, but, I’m a little unclear by the wording right now.
When his grand parents house goes up for sale,? a sentimental but unemployed man returns to Greece to prevent the lose only to fall in love with the broker who is selling it.
Are his grandparents still alive? ?If not, ?is he heir to the property?
Is the A plot the love story or preventing the house from being sold?
