Write a short summary of what happens in the film

WEDDING

Throughout this film we see a bridegroom, Albert, bent over and frozen in pain as his distraught bride dances around him trying to make amends for his utter embarrassment. He is on a dancefloor at his own wedding. The funny voice over talks directly to Albert, reminding him of the importance of the first dance at a wedding and how his guests have flown from around the world to be there. The film concludes by letting the audience know that the reason he is stuck in pain is because he forgot his Voltaren, which delivers ‘2 x Faster Pain Relief’.wedding and how his guests have flown from around the world to be there. The film concludes by letting the audience know that the reason he is stuck in pain is because he forgot his Voltaren, which delivers ‘2 x Faster Pain Relief’.

N/A

Provide the full film script in English.

We open on wedding.

It’s the first dance.

The groom is suddenly hit with a severe back pain.

He is bent over and can’t move for fear of making it worse.

Back pain has robbed him of his movement and his moment.

Nevertheless, he tries to keep going.

Meanwhile, his bride tries to make amends and keeps dancing (as if this was part of the dance routine) to try and cover the embarrassment.

A dry laconic voice over accompanies the visuals throughout.

VO (Posh upper-crust English accent):

The first dance.

The culmination of a hashtag epic wedding.

The very essence of your burning love, boiled up and distilled, into precise rhythmic movement.

Albert, this is what your family took a 36-hour flight with a layover in Minsk for?

Well let’s just say, you and Vincent Vega won’t sit well in the same sentence.

Super: Don’t get stuck in pain. 2X faster pain relief.

PACKSHOT: Voltaren. The joy Of Movement.
