In a world ruled by divided kingdoms where crossing borders is punished by death, a hidden passage between ramparts becomes the only link between two strangers from opposite sides.

A struggling shepherd, burdened by poverty and prejudice, fights daily to survive with dignity in a world that doubts her strength. On the other side, a boy living in disguise, hiding his true identity, seeks freedom from the weight of a crown by hunting wild beasts and selling their furs.

When their paths cross unexpectedly, what begins as a moment of gratitude soon becomes a secret sanctuary. As days turn into months and months into years, their bond deepens beyond friendship, blooming amidst danger, silence, and separation.

But the world they live in is cruel—driven by power, tradition, and fear. And as the truth begins to surface, so do the consequences of a love that was never meant to exist.

“Incarnation” is a tale of hidden roads, quiet resilience, and a connection that defies fate, forged not in luxury, but in loyalty, laughter, and longing.

INT. MANAGER'S APARTMENT – CONTINUOUS


An old woman, Grandma, sits on the sofa watching news on the TV. She doesn't look up as Ella enters.


Come on, Grandma, don't joke. You really forgot me?


How could I forget the girl who only ever brought me trouble?


Your face is printed on my brain. Even if I get Alzheimer's, I'd still remember a headache like you.


I missed you. I just wanted to see you.


What am I, a gold bar? You can't live without me now?


I'm not here for money. I just wanted to see you.


Grandma: Hey, you—new boy. Bean, you forgot what I told you.


Boy: Ma'am, it's Ben, not Bean. And I tried to stop her, but she said she knows you well enough to visit.


Grandma: I don't have anyone in my life who knows me that well to visit.


Ella: Oh, come on, Grandma. You really don't want me to visit?


Grandma: I never said that. I said you don't know me well. [She sits back on the sofa.]


Ella: If you never let down this China wall, how am I supposed to know you well?


Grandma: What do you mean by "China wall"?


Ella: I've worked here for three years, and I still know you better than you think—even with those China walls up.


Grandma: Oh, shut up now. [She turns toward the TV. Damian's interview is on the news with the headline: A Tight Slap to the Haters – Damian Clarifies the Truth. Ella's eyes widen as she reads it.]


Grandma: I've seen this kid before… but where?


Grandma: What happened? Bitten by an ant?


Ella: I'll have to go. Bye! (She runs out.)


Grandma: What does she think she is… Bolt? (Turns back and changes the channel to a soap show.)


Grandma: Finally… got it. What's the channel number?
