You r talking about a plot .. pls make a video about character's inner journey... that is very important to know about as a writer

What if there is a sudden confusion of tongues at a building construction site.

It's often more of a "when" than a "what if". What happens when a selfish man is forced to examine his life and then becomes generous? What happens when a man-child becomes a man by repeating the same day over and over? What happens when alcoholism leads to enlightenment? An effective premise includes a transformation. It determines what you include or exclude in the story.
