Less Traveled - Description

I’ve changed the ending would like some FEEDBACK if at all possible. the title has also been changed to “Less Traveled”. Which is taken from Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken”

The signpost in front of the pair reads “Homeland” below this are 2 arrows pointing in opposite directions. The road they had been travelling down now forks. The man goes left but is stopped by the boy who then proceeds to go right but is also stopped by his father. They give each other a disgruntle look. They are both tired and frustrated. The man’s face lights up as he gets an idea. He excitedly retrieves a coin from his pocket. The boy calls heads. It’s tails. The boy looks at the man in annoyance and storms ahead.  The man follows behind with a look of self satisfaction. The boy rounds a corner out of sight of the man. There’s a bright flash of orange and red like fire. The man panics and rushes forward to catch up with his son. The boy turns and scowls at his overbearing father. The man breaths a sigh of relief. 

Cut back to the fork in the road. Alone, the boy approaches the fork again. Bemused he continues down the same path to the left to catch up with his father. There’a moment where nothing is happening on screen. The boy approaches the fork yet again. He slumps his shoulders in weariness. He begins to go down the same path but glances to the right. With a smirk he seizes his opportunity to go down the path he chose. Cut again to the father who has come to the end of the road. Athens is visible in the far distance. Before him are wide open plains and his son. He begins to approach his son when there’s another fiery flash. 1 kalpos (Greek gremlin) jumps off the shoulders of another. They tricked the man into thinking they were his son. They scamper over to their master. The God of Sleep. The God strikes the father with his gaze. Their eyes will flash the same colour to communicate some sort of connection has just been made. The father falls to the ground asleep.

The son comes to the same end point, there’s a change in light to show a passage of time. He gently attempts to wake his father and when he stays unconscious he begins to panic. Just before he begins to shout his father’s name it cuts into the father’s dream. There’s a shot of a spiral tower twisting upwards. Camera zooms into the building where the father is drudgingly moving up the spiral path. He hears his sons muffled cries, looks around and continues onwards. Cuts again to the son and god. The God places a gentle hand on the shoulder of the stricken boy and says “Leave here. He belongs to us now.” The boy stays. The God tightens his grip and says “Continue on your path or join him” The boy rises and sets off along his path carrying his father’s belongings.
