Title: Give a film synopsis in 5 words or less Post by: retrorussell on May 10, 2010, 02:17:04 AM I thought this might be kind of interesting. Can you describe the plot, or generally what happens through at least much of the film, in 5 words or less? It doesn't have to be a perfectly structured sentence (or VERY short sentences), by any means. For example:
