EXT. LANCASTER COUNTY, PA. COUNTRYSIDE � DAY
TITLE SEQUENCE
The faces of several young children are presented in CLOSEUP,
as they walk TOWARD US across a ploughed field. On the SOUND
TRACK, the haunting SOUNDS OF A GREGORIAN FUNERAL CHANT. The
CAMERA PANS UP to the faces of older brothers and sisters,
then to parents and grandparents. These are not familiar
faces, but faces from another age, strong and open. All are
dressed in the distinctive clothing of the Amish.
EXT. COUNTRY LANE � DAY
Through the last traces of early morning mist another group
of black-clad figures make their way down a lane.
