Main Concept
In a small rustic village in the modern world contains a horrific secret. The children within the community are ill-fated, their lives are fortuned on the spiritual Gods the cult believes in. Each year four children are chosen and these four children are sacrificed for their Gods and each of these children are branded with a pattern, this ritual is called ‘Sors Numerus’ ('fate numbers'). .
Narrative
The story begins with a father and his new-born child living within the cult. The disequilibrium begins when four children are announced to be sacrificed and his child is one of them. The four are needed but the father is far too attached to his child and fighting his morals he attempts successfully to get his child out of the cult and frees himself from the cult. However the cult need the child to complete the chain and the father has lot his child in desperate attempts to save them both. Will the cult find them and complete the chain? Will the father be reunited with his daughter? What does the brand on her neck mean?
Title for product
To name the product I thought of all aspect of the film to find something unique. I thought about the branding of each child and the love each child must have gotten before the sacrifices - but this love also means the love between the protagonist and his daughter. The branding reminded me of a chain reaction or a pattern so i though of 'Chain', however I wanted the love to also pierce through the title so I though instead of the pattern/brand being the focus change the meaning to 'Hearts' so that each child and their love and sense of home is disrupted by the chain; hence 'Chain of Hearts'. The symbolism for chain is also conventionally fitting for a horror.
