I can elaborate:
The Sveigersons, featuring Erik and Erika.
Opening shot: a long delayed sunset, that never seems to end.
Switch to: Erik (age 7) holding his head in his hands in gloom, sitting on a
bare rock.
ERIK (to Erika): "I'm depressed"
Pan to, after quick shot of Erika (age 5) waking to alertness on her
slightly smaller bare rock, wide sweep of denuded landscape occasionally
peppered by deserted crumbling villages, starving goats, postcards from
Grimsby or Skegness saying 'Glad you're not here', upside-down American
flags, overhead distant Russian clouds of Slavic gloom threatening.
20 minutes later:
ERIKA: "The world is too much with us"
ERIK nods his head, slowly, ruefully.
In the distance DEATH is seen flapping his wings on a hill.
10 minutes pause. Slow fade. End of programme.
Best
Dave
