Scene: A woman stands in a small courtyard. It is a snowy night. A film actress, she has come home to visit her mother and adopted daughter. She meets up with her lover of four years, an irresponsible playboy. His parents forbid them to get married, but they can t seem to break up either. Out in the courtyard, she paces. Then, suddenly, she lies face-down in the snow. It looks like she s trying to sink into the ground. Then she crooks out her left arm a little bit, her hand scooping around underneath. Since there s no dialogue, we are left to interpret this on our own. Despair? Hopelessness? Is she ill?
