Isaac Strul, Deserter- Screenplay Opening Twenty Pages

Read the opening twenty pages of ISAAC STRUL, DESERTER, an English-language historical feature screenplay by Cody Barbu, based on Liviu Rebreanu’s “Ițic Ștrul, dezertor...”

Set on the Romanian Front during the First World War, the story follows Isaac Strul and Ion Ghioagă, longtime friends whose bond is tested by war, prejudice, duty, debt, and a lethal order.

Written under the TWO ACTORS rule, only Isaac and Ion are ever visually represented. The surrounding world is created through off-screen voices, sound, objects, light, and consequence.
