DRAMA, ACTION

A Jewish woman falls in love with Alex, a goy, or gentile man, in the post-WWI Warsaw. Her father, to prevent them from marrying, promises her to an Argentinian Jew, supposedly rich, but actually representing an international forced prostitution scheme. Now, Alex must save her from their hands before it's too late.

THIRD PERSON

Authors Writing Style: GOOD

Characterization: FAIR

Commerciality: GOOD

Franchise Potential: FAIR

Pace: FAIR

Premise: GOOD

Structure: FAIR

Theme: GOOD

It is accurate, but the details about supporting characters are missing.

The urgency of the main theme and the protagonist's struggle.

Some of the actions and situations in the story are unnecessarily stretched and feel a bit repetitive.

THE STORY DOES NOT RELY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS

The hook is a reflection on how our prejudices tend to turn people around us and even ourselves miserable. And also men's cruelty against women.

Not a large fanbase, but it could attract a mostly feminine and feminist audience, since it brings up themes that are of main concern in our modern society.

With a good cast and crew, it could, since the theme, as mentioned earlier, is urgent.

MEDIUM BUDGET

TAKEN - A FILM ABOUT A FATHER, WHO IS ALSO A FORMER FEDERAL AGENT, WHO GOES AFTER HIS DAUGHTER AFTER SHE IS KIDNAPPED BY A CRIMINAL SEXUAL SLAVERY ASSOCIATION. TRAFFICKED - THE STORY OF THREE WOMEN FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WHO ARE TRAFFICKED AND ENSLAVED FOR PROSTITUTION.

The main theme is not original, but it is urgent, and, since it's dealt with in a story about a past time and age, it could be different than the usual fare. However, to be more unique, it could abandon some romantic clichés that end up turning the narrative less impactful than it could be.

They are courageous, brave and passionate about each other and life itself.

Not really a rare gem. The structure and the characters should be better developed and the narrative itself would have to be more original for that.

WORK IN PROGRESS

While the story has many positive points, it has room for improvement (see possible paths below). If you can't change the story at this point, my suggestion is using your notes as a guide to highlight the best aspects of it when taking the next steps, either putting a pitch page together, a treatment, or a presentation.

Besides the structural and characterization aspects already mentioned, the story also doesn't sound unique enough to be a very successful adaptation. First, it somewhat doesn't seem to determine that well what it wants to be. Sometimes, the narrative is a romance, sometimes it's a drama, sometimes it's a thriller, and sometimes an all-out action film. This is not necessarily a problem, but the author does haves some issues balancing the tones, and the narrative eventually feels awkward and out of place. The romantic clichés, which are strong especially in the beginning, don't go well with the more physical and visceral parts. Considering the story's denouncing nature, maybe most of those stereotyped characters and situations could be dropped to favor the narrative and make it even more shocking and impactful, which seems to be something the book is going for. In an adaptation, this could mean all the difference between failure and success with the audience.
