BROKEN EMBRACES
Written byPedro Almodovar
DUSK, OR NIGHT HAS ONLY BARELY FALLEN.
A huge clock marks 7:55 p.m. (The clock belongs to some landmark
building, to be determined). Immediately following, the building goes
dark.Establishing shot of the Eiffel Tower, lit. Suddenly, all the lights
go out.The same thing happens with the Granada's Alhambra, Seville's Giralda
Tower, the Guggenheim at Bilbao, the Gate of Alcala. All these well-
known architectonic wonders turn dark, abruptly. (Beauty that
disappears suddenly, beauty that's extinguished and envelops us in
darkness.)
