The Perfect Pair Dolphin Trilogy is happy to present "heaven's revolution" by Leotien Parlevliet10/5/2021 So, who am I?
I am a former French teacher and published my first novel, Eleonore, in 2007. Following a course in screenwriting, I embarked on several scripts, two of which are now finished. Being a keen environmental activist, I wished to use my work to raise public awareness about the threat to life on our planet. To this end, I wrote The Sign and Heaven’s Revolution. My work addresses social topics centred on mutual human relations … with just a touch of magic! Get the picture? Okay! Here is the plot of Heaven’s Revolution set in scenes. Heaven’s Revolution The concept: Dolphins warn a psychic that the Cosmos can no longer handle the disruptions to its unique system caused by human activity. However, if people of all nations link hands to help nature, nature will recover and eventually restore our planet to its former self. Genre: An adventurous drama, inspirational and female-driven. It’s an environment-threatening cult that meets The Lord of the Rings. Logline: When two environmental activists attempt to save the planet, they find themselves battling a malefic cult and a Cosmos that can’t handle any further disruptions. ACT ONE: A pod of dolphins warns two oceanographers about a strange phenomenon in the sky. Next day, a dense smog envelops the world, and it becomes apparent that a life-threatening cult has seized power. A psychic named Sabina and a natural scientist named Brian appear on a TV news broadcast to tell the public about the message that Sabina received from the dolphins. They reveal the presence of an underground facility in Trenton, New Jersey; a place built by a team of research experts to facilitate refuge and conservation. Together with three other volunteers, Sabina and Brian embark on a mission to the headquarters of the destructive cult, which is based in the Ural Mountains. There, they hope to destroy the cult and save the environment. It’s their intention to throw their character-related crystals into the fire of a ritual ceremony. ACT TWO: With the cult hot on their trail, the team encounter terrifying ecological disasters, including the emission of toxic fossil fuel, mass deforestation, ferocious lightning storms and two violent round ups. These traumas change Sabina and Brian. Brian especially loses his cool when he is confronted with his almost-fatal former relationship. He’s shocked to find out that he is still in love with Cheryl, and tries to hide his true feelings behind a mask of arrogance. This causes friction amongst the team and a cooling of his friendship with Sabina. His disturbing behaviour climaxes when Cheryl is kidnapped by the cult during a fight. During this violent scuffle, Brian betrays his true feelings and loses sight of their mission. As for Sabina, she argues with another team member, the realist Harry, about her visions. Their bickering comes to blows when she reveals how a dream saw them trapped by the cult near a rocky flight of steps, with one of their teammates fading away in a bright light. Sabina’s over-confidence proves to be her biggest enemy, as she is unable to figure out the meaning of her dream. Meanwhile Pierre’s many phone calls arouse her suspicions. When they are at last on their way to their target, hostilities within the group get worse. It appears that Pierre is a traitor who leads them to the dread rocky steps foretold in Sabina’s dream. He wants to turn them all over to the cult. When Sabina attempts to save their mission by challenging Pierre to a life and death duel, Harry intervenes and blows their final chance, saddling himself with a furious Sabina. ACT THREE: Their mission appears to fail, and all hope seems lost – until an injured ceremonial pigeon intervenes. As the leader of the cult attempts to shoot the bird, their kidnapped companion slams the gun from his hands, allowing the pigeon to drop the crystals into the fire, thus eliminating the cult. The sky becomes clear as an enormous healing crystal arises from the flames. The members of the fellowship link hands; but whilst Sabina and Harry make amends, the rift between Brian and Cheryl is far more difficult to resolve. Besides, Cheryl is traumatised by her abuse and rape at the hands of the cult. Brian has to work to regain Cheryl’s trust before he can confess his true feelings for her. They return to their underground world, and attempt to restore what has been lost both in the environment’s beauty and in their own hearts. Various shots illustrate the beauty and threats to the planet, whilst a woman’s voice expresses the dolphins’ warning to humanity in a song, The Cry of The Dolphins. Lyrics for THE CRY OF THE DOLPHINS (Title Song of Heavens Revolution.) An Emerald in the Universe with huge magical forests, mountains and hills. Heavenly waterfalls, seas, and oceans. Rich coral reefs and iconic species. That liveable miracle is turning dramatically grey, as if an ashen veil is gradually being draped around its globe, which fades its lustrous green away. The dolphins’ cry is loud and clear and can no longer be ignored. Our house is burning. Thus, the stakes are high, as Paradise may be lost. There’s no time to persist in the lie. Behind their seeming smile, the dolphins cry desperately; Mother Earth is at stake. Once the forests are burning, fertile soils changed into sandy plains. The seas and oceans poisoned, most species wiped out, the bees gone, and the birds stop singing. When all these sounds die out and a dead silence falls, there’s no turning back. A copy simply can’t be made. The dolphins’ cry is loud and clear and can no longer be ignored. Our house is burning. Treasures are at stake. This cannot go on. For a copy can never be made. So, be our voice. Hope you enjoyed the read! Leotien Parlevliet https://www.stage32.com/media/ https://youtu.be/tVtILjZib6Y via @YouTube
