The document is a shooting script that outlines 75 shots for a film involving two characters, DON and PALM. It details the camera shots, descriptions, and durations. The story involves DON and PALM spending time at the beach, where DON finds PALM a seashell. Later, PALM experiences bullying at school but finds comfort listening to the seashell. The script ends with PALM and her sister KARA visiting DON's grave, where PALM brings the seashell.
