TITLES ROLL<br />
FADE IN:<br />
New Zealand. 2020s.<br />
While Wellington has suffered a major earthquake and is on<br />
the way to recovery, Masterton is complete disintegration.<br />
EXT. MASTERTON - ROUGH NEIGHBOURHOOD (SPRING)<br />
ESTABLISHING. Not a crumbling brick wall or boarded up<br />
abandoned shop front seems free of graffiti. RUSTED BARBED<br />
WIRE, Gates are padlocked. Drains are blocked.<br />
Harsh DRIZZLE IMPACTS cracked asphalt.<br />
There is uncollected rubbish strewn about everywhere.<br />
In the b.g. a scavenging DOG shakes away at a torn RUBBISH<br />
BAG, scattering food scraps everywhere.<br />
FLICKERING STREETLIGHT.<br />
A homeless man approaches in the distance.<br />
This man’s only saving grace is the WATCH CAP on his head,<br />
and the old WOOLEN TRENCH COAT he wears. His worn BOOTS<br />
are wrapped in shopping bags. The mist of his BREATH can<br />
be seen as he puts his hands to his mouth for warmth.<br />
Walking along the middle of the road, the homeless man’s<br />
face is contorted. The stench of the overflowing sewers is<br />
unbearable.<br />
EXT. ROUGH NEIGHBOURHOOD - BROKEN DOWN APARTMENT (DAWN)<br />
LIGHT FLICKERS inside a run-down building. Shouting can be<br />
heard. Shadows of disruption.<br />
A DOG BARKS.<br />
TITLES END.<br />
EXT. RURAL MASTERTON - OLD WOODEN CHURCH<br />
The building, along with several smaller ones, is<br />
surrounded by a WROUGHT IRON FENCE.<br />
In the b.g. cattle graze in a nearby paddock.
