Film Noir Full script
INT. BEN’S BEDROOM. BED’S HOUSE. MORNING
The room is dark as the curtains are closed on the large window that takes up the whole of the central wall. Clothes lay strewn across the floor; coins, cigarettes and their packets litter the side of a large desk to the left side of the room. To the right, against the wall is a single bed with two inhabitants sleeping under the duvet. One is a boy in his late teens named BEN, his head leans against the head of a girl of a similar age named KIRA.
