This story is about a couple who are expecting a baby girl visiting and old antique shop where they are convinced to buy an antique jewellery box for their unborn baby by a very old suspicious man. They buy the box and put it on top of the fireplace as a present for when their baby is born. Whilst they are in the hospital having the baby the husband receives a phone call minutes after his wife has given birth to tell him their house caught on fire. They come home to find their house and all their possessions burnt except for the new jewellery box which is untouched by the fire. They take the box back to the antique store and ask the man why this happened, the man becomes very defensive and refuses to answer their questions and when they keep asking him, he lashes out and kills them. The man then persuades another family to buy the box. The film ends on the house burning however the jewellery box is playing a tune which gets gradually slower and the ballerina figure is spinning, it begins to spin slower then the screen fades to black.
The main characters are the couple who originally buy the jewellery box.
My leads story goal is to find out why their house burnt down and the only thing to survive was the jewellery box which seems to be untouched by the fire.
The majority of the story is set in the antique store where the old man convinces the two families into buying the jewellery box for their babies. A small part of the film is set within a hospital where the woman is having her baby and the husband receives a phone call to say their house has caught fire. The film is based around a family who are expecting a baby buy a jewellery box and this effectively causes their house to burn down so they try to find out why this happened and they end up being killed. The beginning of the film starts with the young couple out shopping and walking into the antique store. The beginning is very sweet and the couple seem happy.
