The scene opens with Tina, a homeless woman, waking up in the middle of nowhere on a bench,

Scene 2 – Tina’s Life

Tina can be seen sitting on the floor near the bench begging for money, but to her

disappointment she is unsuccessful, so she has no other choice but to go into shops and ask for

food. When in the shop, Tina gets dirty looks from the staff and customers of the shop and is

rudely forced out and told to never go back.

Scene 3 – Sandra’s Life

Sandra can be seen in her workshop drawing ideas, but keeps on starting again as nothing is

working out for her. She then goes searching for ideas around town, and finds Tina sitting on the

floor near the bench, with paper and a pencil. She approaches Tina out of sympathy as Tina’s

pencil breaks and she vigorously tries to fix it. Sandra feels sorry for her and goes closer, seeing

her drawing before giving her a pen she has in her pocket and walking off.

Scene 4 – Prize

Sandra can be seen on a stage accepting a prize. It cuts to show a leaflet pass Tina in the street

and she decides to go as the name looks familiar. Tina is not allowed in, but is able to look

through the window and recognizes Sandra. As the artwork is reveled, the audience can see it is

what Tina had previously drawn. It cuts to show Tina’s facial expression, she is horrified.
