Applying Todorov's theory to our Film Idea

Equilibrium
The audience will see a funeral taking place; it will be the father of a young boy called Morgan, leaving his wife as a widow. This has happened 2 years prior to the mother and her new boyfriend taking her son on holiday to Canada where the story starts. Morgan has gone to look around the area and is gone for two hours. The mother of Morgan goes out to look for him as he’s not returned home. As she heads out she is stopped unable to search because of the break out of a fire in the Forest nearby.

Disruption

Missing posters are put up as he hasn't been found. The forensics team find six small bones in among-st the destroyed Forest; the bones have no fire damage. We are shown a man digging up the remains of a child’s grave and planting the bones in the forest and starting the fire. This is Morgan’s uncle the Twin brother his Father never even knew he had. Later the mother sees a picture of her son and a man who looks exactly like her husband in a local paper and she informs the police wanting answers.

Resolution
The man in the newspaper she believes is her husband cannot be her husband as the police confirm he really has died but they identify a different in the men a missing scar under is right eye. They go back through her husband’s history to reveal he has a twin brother that was put into care when he was too young to remember him.  


New Equilibrium 
The film of him being question cuts off so you are unable to hear his answer and it’s left with no clear resolution.


Restored order

They eventually are able to track the twin brother down and take him to the station to be questioned, saving Morgan and returning safely home.
