INT. ARMA VS JAKE ROOMS. DAY We see a siluete in the window frame looking outside. /We see Jake from outside, him talking to the phone in the kitchen. /During their phone talk we see a car entering a backlot and parking, Jake is very energetic and steps out of it. Takes with him his jacket and backpack. Comes towards the building of flats. It is a tall 10 stories building filled with one room apartment. There are 2 elevators he enters and pushes 10. The last floor. We see the top mechanisms of the elevator turning, we hear the eerie continuous high pitching noise of th elevator. We see the top floor of the mechanisms. And they stop. The imense apartment building. Jake exits at his floor and takes out his keys. Puts as he always does the key in the door but today, this instant he looks along the hallway, where he never looke before. At the end hallway is a door and a small balcony. He goes there and goes out. + ARMA This is just the begining, its just the first breath of pain and guilt and remorce. Many are killed by this hell. This breaking. This crumbling of the walls - If you want I can help you grief it away. JAKE I am fine, she wanted me to talk to you. But I dont understand why. + ARMA Then close the phone. JAKE No, Im just saing that maybe is from the fish I ate last night [we see a stinking raw gutted fish] it had a shitty taste. + ARMA That taste was not from the fish, but from your soul. Fear does not come from the fish. ...

JAKE Can you give me my life back -- the life I feel destined to live -- the life in which I would give everything -- the life, where all will be precious and filled with love -- give me that! + ARMA I can... but you can’t. That is why you are here, now. [in this situation] + ARMA (CONT’D) I can take your regrets away. Your failing dreams. Your normality. JAKE I’ve lost all. My arogance, my daring, my illegal pursuits, my against human nature, my continuous request for help. Somehow I can’t find them at all. + ARMA Your demons found a whole in the fence, they are all, new, desperate to get out and eat you alive. JAKE Thats bullshit. The doctor said Im fine. + ARMA Do you belive him? JAKE I can’t believe anything anymore. INT. ARMA ROOM. CONTINUOUS We are close to Arma at the window. We descover Jake in the room as well. Jake sits on the chair beside the window dressed in a black wool dress with a big neck/hood. The room is empty and white, and he has his mouth open like waiting for something to happen. On his back he has a red triangle painted.

JAKE OS Suddenly, I felt my body as artificial, my mind as artificial and I looked at them in wonder, seeing them for the first time being made, fake, decorum. What can one do to a decorum to transform it or to fake it back to nature, to one. Or maybe there was never this oness, and people are correct about living their lives dedicated to their artificial limbs - [body and mind and culture.] Jake is nervous, is like a great battle is going on in him. He shakes very subtle. His jaws are clenched. His eyes are lost inside. He is scared and needs to run away, to run until he falls down consumed all. Jake takes his dress off and stands up from the chair, he looks around, then suddely, runs and jumps into the wall again and again - but we focus on Arma at the window that turns very slightly his head to see what Jake is doing. Jake falls down on the ground and runs again into the wall. And falls again. + ARMA Yes. You cant yet understand, we are them. You Otte, Preus, me, we all are just parts of you. And you have nothing to understand with. You have to build yourself that little part, the part that connects what you know, what you remeber and what you feel. This connection is not good. It is a messy improvisation, discovered by chaos and kept because it was interesting. You have to wait for it to grow. JAKE I am outside my own. I have no time to wait, no time to look for, and if it will not happen now it means that it happened out there and I am not there. [the eye] + ARMA There is great darkness in the center of light.

JAKE I am slipping. ... Jake as he jumps slowly slowly remains more and more time on the wall until he drops from it - slow motion - slower and slower until he remains there. His wall hitting face - his speaking mouth - his hand on the wall moving slightly - slow motion [playback fast speed] Arma is turning his head toward Jake on the wall, on his body is multiplied 30 times on the wall. He crosses the room without looking at the marks of Jake on the wall and sits on the ground. Like in a meditation pose. TimeLapse - night comes - the Arma sits in the frame non moving until night [120m=1m] - Jack on the wall changes malformes postions They both dissapear in the darkness. + ARMA Something like a mantra. Falshes of a white Demon that looks like Jake - white, with red bloody wires coming out from his mouth. He is contorting and convulting in the darkness. His face is wild. His body is contorted, his arms reach for something that is not there and spasmatic comes back in fear of an invisible touch. His eyes are red and hollow. His skin is falling apart. Cracked and bloody. He is gentle with his touch of the darkness. And darkness. Fade in slowly Arma is in the same position. She open her eyes and turns for the wall, is dark she searches searches and finds Jake’s hand on the floor, then the elbow then the rib and all, in small bits. Arma sits over him that lies fainthed on the ground. We see them from behind as a pieta with a small light coming from his hole in the belly, covered by her body. Arma pulls out the small fire from his body. With her white argile face and red mouth, takes out of him organs and blood. Takes out of him parts as a tumour and puts them in two bowls. ...
