Set in a dystopian 1950s, Wendy, a determined 17-year-old, dreams of breaking free from

the traditional “American housewife” life. An all-powerful narrator can be heard by her and her family, pushing his patriarchal views and controlling their lives.

His power is further emphasized through visuals, as when he is speaking we are in black

and white with a 4:3 aspect ratio, but when the narrator leaves, we are in color with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

This is to show the different mindsets of the characters, with Wendy being more

progressive than her father who is haunted by the narrator.

When Wendy is accepted into college, which she applied for in secret, she works to prove

to her father and the narrator that she will not conform to this life. She rebels by proving she is ready for more.

When her parents realize her unhappiness, they agree to let her go, but the narrator

refuses, and punishes the entire family by trapping them in his prison. Wendy uses her quick

thinking and skills to free her and her family, and achieves her dreams.
