Jimmy, a screenplay by Vesa Vainio

Jimmy

A love triangle in the path of a falling space station

Logline: As his late father’s doomed space station hurtles toward Earth, Jimmy is paralyzed by a crippling fear of the sky — until his violent neighbor’s oppressed wife offers him unexpected support, and their fragile bond gives him the courage to face his fears. But as the station’s collision countdown ticks away and her husband’s control tightens, Jimmy must find the courage to save them both before the falling space station — and her husband — destroy their chance at freedom.

The overall tone of the screenplay blends the poetic feel of The Tree of Life with Scandinavian laconism and Takeshi Kitano’s stark violence. A falling space station and Jimmy’s fear of the sky add a surreal touch, elevating the drama into sci-fi territory.

At its core, the story is about two people breaking free from the chains of their lives and fears.
