If you're familiar with Contextualize/Whamise This Line, then you may know how this will work. However, instead of a line, you must write a plot/synopsis based off a title from a work in a "Poster above you" format. For example...
Troper A: Soul Surfer
Troper B: Soul Surfer is a cyberpunk action film about a man who has the unique ability to go into the bodies of other people, and must do this to clear his name for a crime he hasn't committed.
Something like that. I'm just hoping I'm being concise enough. Alright, let's begin.

An independent fantasy film which centers on a lonely nomad who wanders a vast desert whilst on a spiritual pilgrimage. Along the way the nomad encounters spirits who appear to him in the form of animals. The spirits guide him while also delving into his backstory, which is surprisingly messed up. The nomad eventually reaches his destination: a mysterious jungle, where the final part of his pilgrimage takes place. There he is put through the physical and spiritual ringer as spirits, both good and bad, give him a myriad of challenges with the promise that once he completes his pilgrimage he will be "born anew." The nomad finds a mystical grotto where a giant carnivorous tree resides which promptly eats him, which causes his spirit to become part of the jungle. The music is amazing throughout.
Fallout
Is not impressed.With the sense of almost having to go into the obvious, the plot based in a post nuclear apocalyptic world where people try to survive. Personally I would have the story based around a family who took shelter in a fallout shelter, even though the shelter kept them from dying they have fallen deathly ill and have decided to go to the surface to try and find someone who can help the survive the radiation sickness

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly.The economy collapses completely overnight resulting in prices rocketing up, ridiculously as shops try to cope, e.g. a small bag of (previously) cheap flour costs $2000 and civilization goes to hell as, while some attempt to keep order, basic human survival kicks in and it's every man for himself, riots and thieving occurring pretty soon.
