Kitchen Sink Drink: Treatment

My film will involve two characters, a father and a daughter.

We open on a closeup of an empty glass containing a few drops of water which the father then inspects to see if there is any water remaining. After discovering it is practically empty, he picks up the glass and he heads towards the kitchen. Before he reaches the kitchen, he encounters the daughter holding another empty glass. The father then asks the daughter if she can refill his glass, seeing as she is doing the same anyway. She reluctantly accepts the request and takes the glass from him.

We cut to the daughter in the kitchen pouring squash into one of the glasses, then diluting it with water. She moves onto the father’s glass and pours some squash into the glass. She then realises that he asked for water, and proceeds to carelessly throw the squash into the sink, unknowingly leaving a minuscule amount remaining in the glass. The camera focuses on this. She dilutes the squash with water, realising her mistake and masking the contents of the drink. The daughter enters the dining room and she places her squash down on the table. She then gives the other drink to the father. The daughter takes a sip of her squash, scrutinising the father. As he takes a sip of the drink, we cut to a reactionary shot of the daughter’s devious expression. The film ends on a closeup of the father’s confused reaction to the extremely dilute squash before any dialogue can ensue between the two characters.
