Synopsis
The opening of our psychological thriller ‘Saving Grace’
starts with a 15-year-old girl in an ancient but well
kept church, praying and repeating scriptures from the
bible. She is alone in this large church with only the
light from the candles on her face. Throughout this part
of the opening of the film we have a young woman at the
age of 30 named Gwen getting ready for a night out at a
wine bar. Both of these scenes cut at different times

5. between the two peoples scenario. There is then a frame
of movement of this young girl leaving the church and
continuing her motion of mumbling and speaking to herself
(her face at this point is not revealed). Through further
discussion, my group and I have decided to just focus the
opening two minutes being surrounded by Grace in the
church alone. However we are keeping to one of our
original points of not revealing any of the characters
faces in the opening, and now that the opening only
involves Grace, her face will be unknown to the audience,
but her actions made clear.
The main story involves the journey of a young girl who
believes that society is in many ways corrupt, but is
deeply attached to her religion. She ends up trying to
commit suicide, due to her believing that life is not
worth living, but gets saved by a young man who gives her
guidance and shows her that there is more to life. Grace
finds some form of identification of the man’ and due to
him saving her feels the great need to return it. As she
does so she is shocked to find that his partner who was
also at the tram stop when the man saved her is
committing the sin of adultery. Due to Grace’ strict
obsession with her religion she begins her journey of
stalking by sending messages and watching this woman’s’
every move, in the attempt to change her into a ‘pure
woman’, after a while Grace realizes that this woman is
not taking her messages seriously, and takes things into
her own hands. Gwen however is shown to be going crazy
and becoming psychologically confused, due to the people
around her telling her that she is not being stalked.
Gwen takes many strategies in order to reveal her stalker
to everyone, but however is always un-successful due to
Grace knowing her every move and schedule.
Her stalking goes to a next level, and it sadly ends in
Grace taking both her and Gwendlyn’ life due to Grace
thinking that they are both better not on the earth, due
to Grace not being successful in changing Gwen. Grace
believes that Gwen did not take each message seriously
that she sent, and in the eye’s of the God they have both
committed sin, so they no longer belong on Earth.
