When a playboy becomes entangled with a set of polyamorous, jet-setting nomads – he falls in love with an unavailable woman, whilst a suicidal nubile teen, falls madly in love with him.
Are the jet-setting nomads a group? Or are they just like-minded individuals? ?I?m wondering if they are a group, that even being polyamorous may have its confines (unless they?re just free to shag whoever they like?) We'll say a group. A "family". They're all in the same boat - all rich nomads. AllRead more

We’ll say a group. A “family”. They’re all in the same boat – all rich nomads. All drifting through a haze of sex and alcohol. All testing the waters.
This guy who falls in love starts out apathetic (and is just numbing himself with sex and alcohol) and doesn’t want anything and by the end – he wants this woman. He doesn’t want to share her with anyone else.
From there, it could turn into an examination into toxic masculinity but I haven’t thought that far ha. I really don’t want to shoehorn an agenda or anything. (I was also thinking the overly macho character is compensating and is actually impotent in some way. An idea.)
Again – I want to muck around with the idea of “the prison of relationships vs the freedom of being an emotional libertine.”?
These are all thoughts I had for the idea back in 2014. I’m yet to distil this into a workable idea/concept/story.
Thanks for reading.

I apologize for posting this twice - I'd deleted one if I could. Trix - thank you for your thoughts. I feel like I?d get an STI just reading that logline!

One big thing is that it’s set in the 1960s – but I never put that in the logline. Interestingly, I thought my nubile Lolita-esque teen would be the only one who comes close to the hippie and free love stuff. Meanwhile, the leads would be Don Draper age — and they’re just “testing” the waters of what’s acceptable and excessive.
Is this a bit James Bondy? The jet-setting, the playboy (and the word ?nubile?!) all hint at a slightly kitsch, dated feel (that?s a good thing in my opinion!)
It would have that James-Bond-Mad-Men bubbly champagne feel. Then when things get dark… they get really dark.
Why is the woman unavailable? Because she?s polyamorous and refuses to be monogamous? I like that irony of a playboy finally finding ?the one? only for her to want more than one.
I want her to be married – but somewhat faithful to this other guy. There’s a very messed up incestuous vibe to the whole thing and you should sense that it could only blow up in their faces.

Hi Trix,
Very interesting idea. Very edgy.
What are your film influences for this? All I could think of was “Martha Marcy May Marlene”.
INTENTION: free her sister.
OBSTACLE(s): having to bomb the LGBT community centre? the cult? the sister might not want to leave?
This is a quick go at chopping it down…
A teen sets out to bomb a LGBT community centre in order to free her younger sister who is being kept captive inside – in a familial cult.
It’s not wonderful. Not sure how clear it is that the cult is inside the LGBT centre. Certainly we need to find that out quickly. I personally think it feels too busy.
You could also do…
A teen sets out to free her younger sister who is being kept captive in a cult inside a LGBT community centre.
This one is shorter and arouses curiosity and anticipation. (I also got rid of the bomb part.)
I wasn’t sure what to do with the “sister being secretly gay” part. Whether it’s a hook/twist at the end of the logline or whether it even belongs in the logline.
