The Disappearance
The screenplay. BASED ON THE Philip Wylie's 1951 novel, The Disappearance transforms the written word into the visual medium of movies or television. Can you imagine what life would be like if at the exact same instant in time, the World split into two parallel worlds -- 4:04:52 PM, Tuesday, 14.February.1950 -- to the males, all the females disappear; to the females, all the males disappear; and, nothing else is altered or affected. How different would life be? Just imagine? . . . an airplane without a pilot, a car without a driver, a couple in the throes of passion without the partner. Normal routines and events of life become monumental obstacles and challenges in the aftermath of that instant. THIS STORY TAKES Paula and Bill Gaunt through the crises of survival and adjustment to the realization that all life is interdependent. Each world deals with the trials of life in wildly different ways, and yet they independently arrive at the same point. They are halves of the same whole. IN a rich and fantastic story that makes you think about the essence of relationships, we can rejoice in what it means to be human.
