Camera runs across the top of the surf and lifts up to reveal a young woman running along the beach.

Camera zooms in towards the woman she looks very dishevelled. she is wearing a torn gingham dress. her hair is dishevelled. she is crying. smudged make-up has streamed down her cheeks.

Camera follows woman running. music rises and swells dramatically.
the woman stops running (a jarring chord plays as the woman stops running)
