Imprisoned in an apartment with a complete stranger, an idealist twenty-something has to find a way to save herself and the world population from the secret organization holding her captive.
Why has she been singled out to be one of the chosen few to survive when she opposes everything the conspiracy stands for? ?What makes her so special that the conspirators would overlook her defining characteristic? And it's still unclear to me as to who is her singular antagonist in this scenario.Read more

And it’s still unclear to me as to who is her singular antagonist in this scenario. ?Cueing off Dkpough1’s excellent practice and suggestion, if you wrote a logline for this story from the point of view of the antagonist, what would it say?

But I will say that a downbeat ending like that will make the script a harder sell. Well, in the American market, anyway, where, as a general rule, ?audiences don’t like pessimistic endings, are not attracted to movies where the message is that the situation is hopeless, humanity is doomed.
I notice you list your location as in France, so maybe those audiences are more accepting (realistic?) about pessimistic endings.
Anyway, ?Dkpough1 is correct that there must be at least a glimmer of hope that she can escape and/or at least die as martyr in a way that defeats the conspirators. ?If her situation is hopeless, her chances less than zero from the start, then what is the source of dramatic tension?
