EXT. JULIEN’S COTTAGE - DAY 5 (2014) 10

JULIEN walks back outside and stares at the remains of the

smashed up beehive. A faraway, disturbed look in his eye.

EXT. FOREST - DAY 5 (2014) 11

A bare foot, as it steps forward in a snowy forest. We hear

a German choir start to sing ‘Rosen Sprungen’.

CAPTION:
Eckhausen, Germany.

We track up to find a WOMAN, wearing a nightie, barefoot,

making her way through the cold mist, her feet crunching

against the snowy forest floor. Her movement is strained as

she walks, and she has to prop herself up against a tree to

keep herself from falling.

EXT. ROAD - DAY 5 12

The WOMAN in the nightie is out of the forest now, and she’s

walking down an empty snowy road. Passing a German sign that

reads ‘Welcome to Eckhausen’. Her eyes are sunken and her

skin is pale. She looks hollow and sick. Using all her

energy to keep moving forward...

13 EXT. ECKHAUSEN SHOPPING STREET - DAY 5 13

We’re in a pedestrianised shopping area in the town centre.

There’s a Christmas market on, people are setting up stallsand we see the choir who have been singing ‘Rosen Sprungen’.

We see the WOMAN - walking through the throng of people.

They make way as they notice her, not quite knowing what todo or say. Her presence is beginning to make a scene - tomake people uncomfortable. And then, suddenly, she collapsesto the ground. A dead weight.

From above, we go in CLOSE on the woman, who liesmotionless, face down on the ground. A LOCAL notices andapproaches, concerned. They shake her

14 EXT. SAM AND GEMMA’S HOUSE - DAY 5 (2014) 14

The snow continues to fall hard. We’re outside a terraced

house in the middle of the town of Eckhausen.

15 INT. SAM AND GEMMA’S HOUSE. KITCHEN - DAY 5 (2014) 15

The kitchen is modest but a lot of care has been put in tomake it feel homely. GEMMA is setting the table forbreakfast. Sat at the table is 21 year-old MATTHEW. He’saffable but distant. An introvert kind of intensity to him.

SAM enters, shirtless, and grabs an ironed shirt off theside and starts putting it on. Then looks out the window atthe falling snow.

SAM:

Morning all. Another day in

paradise!

GEMMA:

Might go outside, read a book and

get a tan today.

SAM:

Make sure you wear sun-cream.

Matthew takes a mouthful of cereal as he shakes his head.

MATTHEW:

When are you both going to stop
