Hi, I really need feedback on this idea—please tell me if it’s worth pursuing or if I should let it go. It’s a concept for a feature film. Set in Prague at night, on an ordinary evening, three intertwined stories explore three stages of love: falling in love, rediscovering oneself, and acceptance.
Story 1: Two Black teenagers, a boy and a girl, walk through the city streets, talking about racial prejudice. Through their conversation, they discover what it truly means to connect with someone and feel understood.
Story 2: A man, heartbroken after divorcing his wife, enters a bar and unexpectedly reunites with an old friend. He had forgotten why they drifted apart—until he realizes it was fear of falling in love. During their encounter, he reflects on why his marriage failed and comes to understand that love takes many forms beyond the traditional.
Story 3: An elderly couple walks home, arguing. The tension erupts when she confronts him about his infidelity. Their fight escalates to the film’s climax, where she tells him she is dying. In that moment, everything calms; the anger dissolves, and they simply embrace.
All three stories are connected through the glowing lights of Prague at night, with a man manually lighting the street lamps, and their paths briefly crossing, creating subtle moments of intersection between the narratives
It would be called, the yellow light of a European blue city

I like the idea and title, Kevin Lopez! "three intertwined stories explore three stages of love" and "All three stories are connected through the glowing lights of Prague at night" hooked me. I think the idea is worth pursuing.

Sounds an intriguing Portmanteau Anthology with separate narratives covering a mixed section of society. My two cents is you should persist. A good book that covers this writing approach is Linda Aronson The 21st Century Screenplay.
