EXT. FARM - DAY
It is a hot summer day. A large run down farm house,
several sheds, a red roof barn and a decrepid silo sit
between fields of dry, uncut grass, in a serene isolated
valley.TWO MEN tack together a broken fence that encloses an
overgrown paddock.THREE WOMEN work in a vegetable garden.
TWO WOMEN hang wet clothes on a clothes line.
TWO MEN work in a cluttered garage on an old car.
FOUR WOMEN sit in a circle on a broken down, buckling
front porch. One woman breast feeds a new born. The
others knit a large blanket.TWO WOMEN and TWO MEN swim naked in a swimming hole.
A MAN in his forties sits alone in a room reading.
A MAN chops wood.
A bare foot TODDLER plays alone in the driveway.
