"BIRTHDAY GIRL"Screenplay by
Tom Butterworth and Jez Butterworth
FADE IN:
In a Russian summer meadow, a young girl spins around and
around. A simple guitar theme plays as the low sun catches
her hair. Around her neck is a pair of field binoculars, and
she runs through the meadow with them pressed to her face,
spying butterflies, birds, rabbits. She reaches the top of a
hillock, and jumps into the air, and flies up into the sky.
We float up and up with her as she aims the binoculars up,
up, into the sun.FADE THROUGH SUN TO:
