Outline: Naomi is very resistant, but she is slowly overpowered with stomach punching by a thug cheating with a special serum.

Clothing: Naomi is in military fatigue pants (or gym pants) and sport bra. Her stomach is fully revealed, from her lower belly to her ribcage. She uses comfortable sport shoes. Her hair is loose. The clothing of the thug is unimportant.

Punches: All punches go to Naomi’s upper stomach (above her navel). They make contact with the body and go deep into her stomach (not bouncing).

Reactions: The transition are the most important part of the acting. Naomi is a strong, she does not scream, whimper or cry. But she is overpowered, and her abs flexing is unable to contain the punches. Reactions show this gradual transition. In the beginning, she produces the normal reactions of a professional fighter receiving stomach punches, trying to avoid being winded. As her abs flexing is over, she can’t prevent getting winded. When her abdominals are unable to resist anymore, she gets weaker and weaker, suffering softly. By the end of the beatdown, she can only open her mouth, in agony, eyes semi-closed.

Puncher: He is strong and in control. He remains silent all the time, no karate screams, showing no effort or emotions.

Camera takes: Camera stays close to Naomi at all times, making close-ups of her stomach, the punches and Naomi’s faces, from as many angles and positions as possible.

Language: They all speak Russian, with English subtitles (if possible).

Part 1 (2’): The video fades in Naomi standing, hands tied up behind her, back against the wall. The thug is right in front of her. The thug says “You want me to try your stomach resistance, I will”. “You think you can break my abdominals?” Naomi sneers. The puncher answers “I will”. He takes a drink of a special serum. “Wait, what’s that serum? I didn’t…”. The first punch cuts her sentence, catching Naomi by surprise. She opens her eyes round, and producing a short grunt. The thug says “I said I will break you. I didn’t say how”. He punches her again. She doubles forward and “ooofs”. She slowly straightens up and regains her breath. “That’s… cheating…”. The thug says “I am a cheater”, and starts punching Naomi’s stomach. She takes the first 2-3 punches well, but then she starts to show fatigue. With every new punch she grunts, doubles forward, and slowly lets her air escape, trying to resist. The thug straightens her up and punches her again. She produces weaker and weaker reactions. She finally falls to her knees, doubles over all the way, and then lies on her side. She complains “my… stomach…”. The video fades out.

Part 2 (2’): The video fades in Naomi standing, back against the wall, arms spread and hands tied as in a crucifixion. She is visibly weakened by the beating. The thug positions himself very close to her, talking close to her ears. “Now that your abdominal resistance is over, let’s see how long you can keep breathing”. She says “let… me… go…”. But he starts driving uppercuts into her stomach, one every 3-4 seconds. Naomi can’t contain the punches anymore, so she produces softer and weaker reactions, until she can only wince. In the beginning her face looks up, trying to use the rest of her strength. In the end her head slumps on the thugs’ shoulder, eyes semi-closed. From time to time she says “my… stomach…”. She has trouble remaining awake, but she doesn’t give up. Drool (water) slowly trickles from the side of her mouth (no spitting).

Part 3 (2’): The video fades in Naomi sitting on a chair, hands tied behind the chair. She is visibly exhausted. The thug grabs her hair. “You are very resilient” he says. Naomi starts to answer “You bastard, I am going to finish…”. But the thug punches her stomach, cutting her in mid-sentence. Naomi is stunned, and produces a long “uwwww…”. The thug straightens her up and starts punching over and over, burying his fist deep into her stomach, above Naomi’s navel and below her the lines of her ribcage. Naomi produces short reactions, showing she is progressively winded. With the first punches she doubles forward, facing down. After a dozen punches or so, the thug grabs her hair and straightens her up. We can see her covered in sweat, her belly pulsing, trying to recover her lost breath. She says “stop… I can’t… breathe….” But he delivers a final deep punch to the stomach. Naomi’s breath freezes for an instant, face stunned by the power of the punch, and then slumps down, drool (water) slowly trickling from the side of her mouth (no spitting). 

Part 4 (4’): The video fades in Naomi lying down on a mat, hands tied above her head. The thug kneels beside her. He says “you are strong, but you seem to be in trouble”. Naomi speaks with difficulty “stop… hitting… my stomach…”. The thug says “It’s not over yet. You wanted to prove how long you could resist. Now we need to see how long you can resist”. Naomi says “it’s… enough…”. But he starts to drill deep punches again above Naomi’s navel. Naomi contorts with the first punches, with the last bit of strength in her body, producing short sounds. But she quickly gives up and stops resisting. We can see her stomach absorbing the punches, deep under the line of her ribcage, her back flat against the mat. Naomi very gradually. The last punches only make her body slightly shake, head arched back, her eyes gradually shutting down, drool (water) slowly trickling from the side of her mouth (no spitting).
