INT. CAR DAY
JOE (55) is driving his car along a country road where
autumn leaves are scattered on both sides of the road. He
turns the wheel left and takes a private route to an old
house.
Joe gets out of the car and finds a pile of leaves in front
of the main door, her rakes them aside and gets his bag from
the car’s trunk. He gets closer to the main door and opens
it with keys he found in his jacket’s pocket.

INT. LIVING ROOM DAY

Joe stands before a large dusty mirror.

All the furniture around him is covered in white sheets. He

walks to the chimney and wipes the dust from a picture frame
of him and a young lady.
