Description: The film begins with the opening credits 'Pinner Cine Society present Spellbound.' Three people (two men and one woman) sit at a table, they may be a family. The woman appears to be reading and the two men are playing scrabble. This is followed by a close-up of the two men playing scrabble, with a scene of just the board with the word 'prev', a 'u' is added to form 'up' along, and 'prev' down. The woman, who is wearing a red top is judging and has a dictionary on the table. One of the men plays, 'quite', the woman is judging and there are many challenges between the woman and older man. The words that are played are 'quiet' 'prevent' 'fetch' and 'thorn'. The woman looks at her watch, it says 10:30.This is followed by lots of challenges and facial expressions. A flask appears and the game ends, it appears the older man (perhaps the Dad?) wins or beats the younger man (his son?) by default.
