Our film and Todorov's theory

Our film does not completely subside with the typical narrative by Todorov which was ;

1. Equilibrium             A state of normality
2. Disruption               An event disrupts the normality
3. Recognition             The hero recognises the disruption
4. Complications          The hero meets problems in trying to restore the equilibrium
5. New Equilibrium     The hero restores a new state of normality

The only part of this theory that our film goes along with would be 'The Hero' meeting his problems in trying to restore the equilibrium, and even this is vague. Our films starts out with sadness and depression and focuses on it throughout, eventually ending in a state of happiness, but at no point is there a level of society that the audience could call 'normal'.
