A screwball 'eco’ comedy

Picture
Logline:
A timid ‘green’ finds his wife recoiling at his new aggressive trait summoned to repel the  commercial interests threatening their idyll:


Greens versus kleptocrates . . .
Screwball up against harmony . . .
Anarchy opposed to symmetry . . .


Aesthetic appreciation is the key that separates us from other animals. That faculty is explored in a story about a green and his wife, as they achieve a perfect idyll but then find it threatened by the implacable demands of commercism.  Can they save their beautiful life and, if so, at what cost?


Target audience:
those environmentally concerned
