The work is dedicated to the development of an original idea and the creation of a screenplay for a feature-length film titled "The Art of Living". The central theme of the story revolves around Arthur, an undiscovered artist who is struggling to gain recognition in the art society. An accident that befalls his wife becomes an obstacle in his path. He must face the mourning and grief of the loss of his loved one. A fictional girl created by his imagination assists him in coping with things happening. An alternate perspective on intrapersonal conflicts and social interactions that individuals with the similar experiences may encounter is presented through the lens of the main character's experiences. Also existential and value-based questions are being raised. The result of this project is a developed script for a feature film that reflects the idea of overcoming a traumatic life experience. The script also includes a director's explication, which explains the author's message and provides an interpretation of their vision of the film. This project has the potential to appeal to a wide audience and could later serve as the basis for a feature film production in the psychological drama genre.
