Silence. We’re situated in the hallway of a house tracking over some pictures showing a man and a girl. Happy family photos and children paintings. Another painted on with a woman alone one meadow. Camera stays there for longer than on the other pictures.
Cut to a bedroom, a young girl’s room. We see a young good looking father talking to his around 7 years old daughter. It’s night time and she’s ready to sleep, lying in her bed. The father is sitting next to the bed. She’s looking at him and camera is her POV. He’s looking at her and telling a goodnight story, it’ the end of the story. In the whole sequence we don’t see the girl,, only hearing her voice. Camera stands still. When the story is finished, the daughter asks about what death is (refering to storie’s end) and wants to know what excactly happened to her mother. We can guess she died by the first question. He answers and tells her the usual story how the angels took her because after she gave birth to her becaue there wouldn’t be enough space in this world for two beautiful creatures which they were. It’s a nice explanation for a child and we sympathize with him and have impression of loving father.
While the camera establishes him a last time smiling at her, the camera starts panning away, tracks out the door in the hallway, movement gets faster constantly, through the whole house and takes some stairs the way up to the attic/or down to hidden basement and stops infront of a door. We hear hard numb knocking and a distant, suffocating scream.
Black out.
