Your Ordinary Movie: Boy Meets Girl

me: I just want to make movies
David: we're like a movie

Setting: city in South America
A young boy grows up very fast because he doesn't have a stable family. He spends most of his time on the streets, getting into trouble with the other kids.

Setting: city in Europe
A young girl is sheltered by her loving and protective family. She spends her time going to different classes and rehearsing for shows.

Setting: city in South America
As the boy becomes a teenager, he becomes very rebellious. He uses his brain to manipulate people, rather than apply himself in better ways. He lies a lot and participates in a lot of risky behaviour. Girls get attracted to his charm, but he just uses them. He doesn't care for anyone but himself. He lives in the present.

Setting: Australia
The girl and her family move to Australia. She becomes a shy teenager who concentrates too much on her education. She wants to find that perfect guy who would make her happy. She only thinks of the future.

Setting: Australia
The boy moves to Australia. He does something incredibly stupid which makes him realise that it's time for him to grow up. He decides to go to uni so he could have a successful career.

The girl finishes uni and gets a job. She has everything she ever wanted. All she wants now is to find someone to settle down with.

Setting: university bus stop
The girl has to go to uni after work. Her friend offers her a lift to a train station but she refuses because she wants to catch the bus to another train station. She doesn't stand too close to the bus stop and so the first 2 buses don't even stop (since they can't see her). The girl decides to move right to the bus stop because it's getting late and she doesn't want to miss any more buses.

The boy comes to the bus stop. He sees the girl and asks her when the last bus came and if she knows when the next one is coming. Somehow they start chatting. When it's time to part, they boy realises he has nothing to lose by asking for the girl's email.

Setting: various locations in Australia
The girl and boy meet several times, sometimes with their friends, sometimes alone. One day they can't deny the chemistry and they decide to go out. They're so different but that's what makes it so exciting.

The girl knows the boy isn't totally right for her but she can't resist his charm and always wants to be with him. The boy decides he doesn't want this to be a short thing, he wants to create a future with the girl.

Everything becomes reversed. The boy who always wanted girls for fun, now wants a deep relationship. The girl who always wanted something serious, just wants to have fun.

How will it end?
