Beyond Episode I: Chelsea's Choice / Brotherhood

By Julio Mario Espinosa Jimenez

A group of teenagers led by Chelsea and the half brothers; John and Mario, has to survive to the hardest years of their lives without any adult supervision. They must decipher the meaning of life, and become adults by themselves.
The kids will face regular issues that were usually solved by the adults, like the food, the economy, human waste management, women's menstruation, the birth of a new human being. Meanwhile, they must live among them, peacefully, and learn how to solve their conflicts without hurting each other.
But what they do not know is that they are in the middle of a conspiracy that took millions of years to take shape. They are just pawns of godlike beings.

1.INT. HIGHWAY. NIGHT.

Chelsea drives the family car across a lone highway somewhere in England; her eyes are swollen and red, beside her there’s a tiny yellow kitten. The cat is playing with a wire; Chelsea looks at her and tries to smile. (Chelsea wears jeans and a black leather jacket).

CHELSEA OFF:

My name is Chelsea… I’m 17.

She's wearing blue sports pants with the British flag on the back, and a white blouse. She uses her curly hair tied back with a ponytail and her tan skin shines with the sunlight.

Suddenly, the music stops. An electric buzz is heard.

CHELSEA OFF:

It was a regular day… We just had some fun while waiting for the Xmas's Eve… but suddenly everything changed… It was like someone had turned off the time… everything went in slow motion, and the sky turned into blue sepia… and we heard a Buzz.

All the family looks up to the sky. The basketball falls at Chelsea’s feet, she does nothing to pick it up. The ground begins to move violently, it’s an earthquake.

CHELSEA OFF:

The earthquake was huge… it was like being inside of
