The Limit: A screenplay about depression
Establishing shot – a remote farm. Crumbling buildings, dilapidated machines. Rusty caravan in the yard.
Cut to interior. An old farmer sits, staring at a photograph tacked to the wall. His daughter and the doctor stand, discussing him.
DOCTOR: How long has he been like this?
DAUGHTER: Silent? A year. He believes everyone has a set number of words to speak in their lifetime. He believes he has reached his limit.
