SCENE ONE

INT. Gloomy Room

Forward dolly track. Medium shot of a man sitting at his desk with his back at the camera, we stabilize the shot on his head. We then continue to move forward to reveal what is on the desk. There is a note book in front of him where he’s been handwriting. The pages have some changes and corrections  and on the top of the left page we see written: “Chapter 16, searching for the muse”. On the right side of his notebook, from the written lines, on another paper sheet, he has been drawing diagonal lines like strings that unite in a single point from which he continued drawing a single line. From and with this line he created some small animals and men that are hunting these animals. The drawing will remind of the prehistoric parietal art(cave paintings). The writer continues to draw his line.
