[Click] Blinding light

[Click] Shot of hair flowing the wind against the sun

[Click] Shot an arm outstretched in the wind, the hand is tense and lean.

[Click] Shot of a young woman’s face darkened by the sun behind her

[Click] Shot of the woman in full, arms outstretched, hair flying, she is circled by the white sun, Christ like.

[Click] The woman shudders a little, teeters forward as she is buffeted by a strong wind.

[Click] Finally a close up shot of the woman’s face.



This photograph is taken closer than the others

The face is pensive, contemplative of a strange power held within her grasp, the power of finality.

At that shot we quit the photographs and float up into the sky behind the girl just as 4 young people burst through the door.


The 3 young men ( MANA, MANB, MANC ) and 1 woman ( WOMAN2) are tense but not panicky, Perhaps they’ve been part of this scene earlier but they are all seem pretty cool for people who are about to see somebody attempt suicide.



One of the men, MANB just slips to the left and continues to take photographs,
One of the men, MANA moves forward to help the young Elektra off the parapet.



She looks to her friends and then down to the concrete, she lets out a sigh of sadness and gracefully jumps off the parapet,



MANA says to WOMAN1 “It’s too late and too early”.

WOMAN1: “Just wanted to feel it again” she adds “It’s like a drug the high decreases until the end, the end”
