WELCOME TO TWO ROADS

Two Roads is a multi-narrative movie developed from the play script written by Matt Parvin.

 

Two Roads follows Ash and Charlotte Dhumal, a married couple living in a near-future world who flipped a coin to decide who paid the bill on their first date, and have never stopped flipping it.

 

They have outsourced their decision-making to avoid conflict. And it’s worked. They’re doing fine.

 

But underneath a perfectly well-functioning facade, they have spent years avoiding important conversations, ignoring their differences, and failing to communicate effectively. The coin is a crutch that has created the illusion of a successful marriage. 

 

When the government announces a mysterious crisis, and the creation of a number of Resettlement Zones to save just a proportion of the population, Ash and Charlotte are faced with the hardest decision of their lives. They are given just two tickets to the Zones between them and their 4 year old daughter, Emma. And they only have 12 hours to work out what to do.

 

They are brought together in this moment of crisis - they must save their daughter, whatever happens. But will they be able to stay united as the night goes on? Things they have successfully ignored for years begin to bubble to the surface … They begin to flip coins to make increasingly impossible decisions.

 

Viewers will follow Ash and Charlie as they try to negotiate this strange new world. You will be able to decide the result of each coin flip as Ash and Charlie face more and more terrifying situations, and are pushed to the limits of their characters, and their partnership. 

 

Will this reignite their love as they face the possibility of losing one another? Will they be driven to betray each other as the world closes in?

We invite you to sample this experience. Our website, story map and reading experience will simulate that of the viewer.

Every storyline begins with Chapter One and is made up of 5 or 6 chapters.  

​

Each chapter ends with a coin flip, at which point the reader/audience can choose: heads or tails. 

 

The reader has access to 32 possible endings for our protagonists - some relatively happy, some utterly tragic.

 

Every chapter offers the reader an overview of the events that occur, key genre aims for that strand of the story, and character development. 

 

We have also written a number of full treatments for some of our more contrasting storylines, offering a further insight into the level of detail and style we aim to achieve. These chapters have been highlighted in red on the map and the choices to lead you through those full treatments are highlighted at the coin flip of each chapter. 

 

We encourage you to read the full Chapter One, and make a decision between heads or tails when prompted. 

 

At the end of each storyline, you will be offered the option to start Two Roads again.

 

You can return to the story map at any time to see the story as a whole.
