Initial Planning


Genre - Social Realism

Narrative - A man (40s-50s) with OCD is struggling through life and he is very isolated. A younger woman (20s-30s) interrupts his daily routine and they start a friendship. She discovers he is a writer and encourages his writing, which helps his OCD to become less severe. He sends off to publishers and gets a rejection letter, which causes his illness to become more severe but she helps him through this. She then gets a partner/boyfriend and they end up moving away, leaving the man alone again on his own where he relapses into his severe form of OCD. He then gets a message/postcard from the woman and he is spurred on to writing again, he sends it to a publisher. The book is published and the woman shows up at the man's house with a copy for him to sign. 

Ideas for filming - 


  • The shots at the beginning are like the Groundhog Day to reiterate the idea of his un broken routine
  • Use a number that is present in almost every shot - OCD is based around numbers- 5
  • Use Aimee's house
