There’s a wide shot of a quaint countryside village, roofs layered with irregular, hand-carved slates catching the specks of early morning light. The light paints the scene in subtle shades of orange and gold. Furry, cotton-like clouds scatter across the cerulean sky like a Renaissance painting. In the center of the frame, offset to create asymmetry is an old cobblestone street, empty and untouched. The camera angle is low, giving life to the uneven slates and cobblestones that fill the depth. The focus is on a single slate roof down the lane, moisture glittering like diamonds in the rising sun. A slow zoom into this house denotes the beginning of a story about to unfold.
