Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

In the film, We see Jason, a mere tennis instructor is speaking very animatedly to a group of people as he explains Astronomy to them. As he speaks, we see other more and people joining to listen to him with great interest. At this moment the voiceover starts and conjures up impossible scenarios such as Jason being a time traveler to him being abducted and experimented by aliens to find out how he acquired this newfound knowledge. And finally, pinning it down to reading the right books had made him unexpectedly interesting.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

When you read more, you acquire a wealth of knowledge. When you acquire more knowledge, you become more interesting. This allows you to better engage with everyone around you. Reading gets you into circles beyond the understanding of your friends, acquaintances and even passers-by. But, when your friends, acquaintances and these passers-by don’t quite understand exactly how you acquired all of this knowledge, they begin to conjure up impossible scenarios for your new-found knowledge.Rarely do they pin it down to reading the right books that make you unexpectedly interesting.

Provide the full film script in English.

What on earth is this? When did Jason – a mere tennis instructor become an expert on Jupiter's moons? Look at those objects, hovering around him like space junk. That’s not the Jason we know. Maybe Jason got sucked into a wormhole, travelled through time and came back smarter? May be aliens abducted him and replaced his brain with a quantum computer. Or May be, just maybe, Jason chooses to read interesting books. Read More. Be more.
