The Legend of Suvi
Year One
Summary
Reception is a movie starring Avi Debnath and Susan Castillo. A UX Architect, who steals the heart of an aspiring actress through the use of dream-sharing communications, is given the inverse task of planting marriage as an idea into her mind.
Synopsis
Avi Debnath is a skilled UX Architect, the absolute best in the dangerous art of user experience, making a 9-year long relationship continuously pleasing and easy to live with, leading Susy through dream-like states and caring for her at her most vulnerable. Avi’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of relationship dependancy, but it has also made him an international traveler to Japan to visit Susy and cost him everything he has ever loved of being single. Now Avi is offering her a chance at wedded bliss. One last request could give him a happily married life but only if he can accomplish the impossible – reception. Instead of perfect harmony, Avi, Susy and their team of specialists (i.e. their bridal party) have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to design an experience but to execute one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect event. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the couple for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move – budgetary constraints. An enemy that only Susy, who lives frugally, could have seen coming.
