The noise in his life comes from : his stepmother who used to bully him and shout all the time, she was always pregnant so I want her to appear as a pregnant woman with one baby in her belly, and 3 next her. The other source of noise which should be in the background behind a transparent window are explosions and missiles which are the noise of the war, these should be behind everything. The third noise will be from a singer who is playing the piano and singing out loud, this was the guy´s neighbour who couldn´t let him sleep because of her constant singing. I also want to put some items scattered on the floor. Item 1 : 4 Cancer Cells- A glass of wine, - a praying matt used by muslims (The matt should be on the right of the guy and the wine glass full of red wine on the right.
