A white title appears on a black screen.
"One doesn't discover new lands

without consenting to lose sight

of the shore for a very long time."
Andre Gide
The title fades off, replaced by a second title.
"We're all in this alone."
Lily Tomlin
     INT.  A WOMB.  DAY.



A fiber optic camera observes a five-month-old MALE FETUS as he

gently floats, weightless, suspended in the amniotic fluid of

his mother's womb.  We focus on the unborn's hand, already a

tiny, exquisite work of art, moving towards his newly formed

lips.  He sucks his thumb.
