Oh, I love the Beginning of "Playing Annie"
One day, alone in her bed, Annie - 32, so skinny you can see every bone of her body, and completely dehydrated – Annie dies of a heart attack. During the process of leaving her physical reality, she discovers what is beyond death. She is transported to a huge place, where she feels total goodness, absolute love, and sees moments of her past.
In a Middle Eastern city, beautifully sunny and peaceful, Annie, now at the tender age of 13, is offered by Mario - a kid from the boy’s school right next to her bus stop – to leave the city for the promised land of Hollywood! She tells him to leave her alone , but he insists so much that she pushes him in the street. The boy nearly gets run over by a car and she apologizes for almost killing him.
Annie is watching the memories as if she’s watching a movie but on a infinitely huge screen.
Annie is now 20, a beautiful mix of femininity and strength. Her mother tells her to get married, sooner than later. She is pressured to marry Henry, a young and tough military man. She finds just 2 days before the marriage that he has a few blond hairs on his head. He won’t admit that he sees another woman. She decides to cancel the marriage, leaving him publicly humiliated .
She is then presented another contender, the son of the chief of the country’s secret services. She refuses to marry him because she finds a man, more to her liking, a young rebelious student who is famous for throwing chairs at his professors.
The day of her marriage ceremony, a civil war begins and the newly weds have to run between the falling bombs around the church.
The "movie" of the memories are finished, and Annie looks everywhere. The huge space fills with red butterflies. She loves butterflies. She turns around and sees the beautiful earth. She smiles and says "I want to go back".
