1915 Page #2

Synopsis: In 2015, exactly 100 years after the Armenian Genocide, a theatre director (Simon) is staging a play at the Los Angeles Theatre to honor the victims of that tragedy -- a horrifying crime forgotten and denied for an entire century. But as protesters surround his theatre, and a series of mysterious accidents spread panic among his actors, we realize that Simon's mission is more controversial than we think -- and the ghosts of the past are everywhere.

Yes... uh...

it's... something

I like to do.

Learn all the lines,

every single character.

I'm impressed.

The Turkish Colonel,

what a gig.

I mean, it's...

it's the role of a lifetime.

At first, I wanted to

play the role, but Simon

thought it would be

too dangerous for me.

What are you saying, Tony?

This isn't an ordinary

performance, James.

Like Simon said, we're dealing

with a real tragedy here...

with actual memories.

You know, the ghosts of 1915,

they're here today.

They're all around us.

Such a lovely song.

I think of Armen

every time I sing it.

Before we were married, he would

whistle it outside my window.

It was our little secret.

That sweater is a little small

for Garo, don't you think?

It's not for Garo.

Oh, my dear girl.

I wish Armen could be here.

Well, he'll come back.

The war can't last forever.

Did you hear something?

What is it, Mo...

What is the meaning of this?

Look! On the door!

It's that awful Colonel.

What does it say, Ani?

It says...

"An order of temporary

relocation."

But that can't be.

That can't be right.

Lights! Lights, please!

You gave me the chills. I don't

know how you do it, Angela.

Don't touch her!

Not again.

Simon!

How was my voice?

Angela, come to me.

Angela? Angela, where are you?

Angela. Come to me, Angela.

Angela, I'm right up the stairs.

My darling.

Did I do it right?

Was I good?

You were perfect.

Put some in your boots,

it'll activate your senses...

give you that desert feeling.

Come on, live a little.

You know, I think

I'm just gonna pretend.

Okay.

Anyway, I'm going to head

home for a couple hours.

I always take a meditation bath

before show time, so...

Hold on, Tony,

don't go yet. Sit down.

Let's have a bite.

You're close with Simon, right?

He's my brother.

Technically second cousin,

but...

Right, so you could

tell me what's...

what's going on...

Oh, you mean Angela...

well, she hasn't really

been herself lately.

Why hasn't she acted

in seven years?

Well, it's not that simple,

James.

Maybe you're just

pretending up there.

Angela... she's actually

living 1915.

So this is just...

method-acting thing?

Well, it's Simon's own method.

It's kind of like hypnotism.

Hypnotism?

It is night. One hour

before the big premiere.

The secret... You're

supposed to be in your room.

Is in the memory.

But I can't find you.

The point is you have to find

your own connection to the past.

So you build a bridge between your

memory and your character's memory.

And then, very carefully,

you cross the bridge.

You're at the top of the stairs.

You're walking down the stairs,

Angela. Do you remember?

You're entering the past.

You are becoming Ani.
