Piece from my Feature-Length Film Script ‘’The man with the Golden Mask’’

which was also part of my Diploma Thesis

The story is about a man, Kimon, who is suffering from psychological issues. One day he
decides to follow his comic book idols, he puts on a mask and becomes a vigilante. It
becomes his obsession and it’s the only thing that makes him feel like he belongs. But he is
no Superman or Batman. And he is putting him self and others in harms way.

In this scene Elena, his sister, is beginning to understand that something is wrong with her
brother and she goes to his house to confront him.

Interior/Noon

We see the Daily News/Greece in an article by Mary. The
headline reads ''Man in Gold Mask Exposes Child Pornography
Circle'' Kimon squats in front of the laptop and stands with
one hand and downloads the article. It's evening. There's a
knock on his door. He quickly puts on a shirt, throws his bat
and uniform behind the kitchen and runs to the door. He opens
it. It's Elena.

Kimon

Good morning, Elena.

She doesn't look at him. She enters the house. It's a mess.
The boxing sandbag is torn and has fallen to the floor. Elena
looks at it in frustration. She holds a bag. She sets it down
on the couch. Kimon follows her, he is wondering and only he
is slightly frightened.

Kimon

Elena, is everything okay?

She's still not looking at him. She must be crying. But she's
hiding it.

Kimon

Did something happen?

Elena

I was going to come today to bring you food and this.

And she points to the bag she left on the couch.

Elena

And I got a call from the self-help groups. They said you

haven't been to the groups for a month and a half. Then I got

paranoid and called your therapist. And she said you haven’t

gone to the sessions in two weeks. And now I come here. And I

see you like this. A mess.
