Plot:
Beth is sitting in a room all on her own, accompanied by a ticking clock. She sits for a moment and then says ‘You all have lied’
Later that day we are in different room, which is a friend’s room (Katrina’s house). In here, we see Beth talking to Katrina. Katrina is trying to comfort Beth as she is upset and depressed.
We then see the miserable weather through a window which is outside. The camera then seems to go out of the window. Outside it is raining and we see two people as a couple walking away in the distance.
The camera then goes back in through a window but a different one that it went from. We then see Beth crying, bringing a tear to her eye, who is sitting in the kitchen on the floor next to the cupboard. (Her house)
We see Beth lying on the couch watching a nature programme. She then finally gets the courage to go outside on her own and she walks down an old country lane, and then off screen. We then see Matthew, Beth’s lover walking beside her, but it is faded to represent him being absent.
We then see Beth in the living room on her own then she is sitting with Matthew her lover. We see an argument and a big row. Beth then goes to the bedroom and at the bottom of the wardrobe she gets out a little box which has a padlock on it. She opens the box and it contains photographs and small objects belonging to Matthew.
She scans through some of the pictures and we see some really happy times, but we then see some of the sad and scary looking things.
We then are taken to the happy moments and then to the bad scary ones. We see a dark forest, a large lake, small alley way, an old run down building, a river, and a large bridge.
We then see Beth entering a very quiet church and sitting down reflecting on all of the things that have occurred.
She then walks out of the quiet church and enters the lonely, empty room in which she was in at the beginning.
In this room we only see Beth but as she is saying ‘There is no memory of him here, and so stand stricken, so remembering him’ we see what looks to be Matthews feet walking across the room that Beth is in.
