Music Video Treatment

The video is a series of vignettes in a child's quest at growing up and living alone. There is an element of surrealism as he essentially lives as an adult, though on screen he has the appearance of a child. To others in the universe he appears old.

A) An only child, about 10 years old, is assaulted by his father. In anger he packs a bag of clothes and runs away from home...
B) Getting a desk job answering phones...
C) Getting a tiny, cramped flat with no furniture and sleeping on the floor...
D) Sitting on a park watching kids play - he is no longer connected to them...
E) Getting his first car, driving around town, waiting for something to happen... (This scene was cut during the storyboarding process to improve shooting practicality.)
F) Turning to alcohol, drinking in a bar...
G) Falling asleep in the gutter, alcohol bottle in his hand...
H) Turning to heroin, shoots himself up in his apartment...
I) Throws up on the floor of his apartment and cries...
J) Eventually realising that he doesn't want to grow up, and that adult life is horrible, he leaves adult life behind and walks out into the night...
K) He arrives at his old house and sees his worried parents through the window... He decides to stay a child for as long as he can, and returns through the front door.
