Chimera workshop

Chimera seems to be two stories told side by side. One is the story of Harold, an accountant that is trying to sell fifteen years worth of dreams. The other story is Rashid the owner of the dream store that Harold goes to. I think that either both stories need to be more fully developed or one should be cut. Harold’s story does compose most of the drama, but by the end it is more about how Rashid see’s Harold and other customers that come to him and less about Harold. Rashid is giving Harold advice, but who is he? I think either he needs more development and growth or the story needs to be completely about Harold with very little Rashid.

I think Harold also needs some more background information. We are never told why Harold is trying to sell his dreams, his parents seemed to be wealthy so why is he so desperate for money? What happens to Harold after the sale? He leaves and we stay with Rashid in the store. Is this new customer on the phone supposed to be the next Harold selling his dreams for cash? Then maybe we should see Rashid’s sale pitch, how does he get people to sell their dreams for so little money?
