Exterior, day.
Strong winds blow a dry snow across the desolate landscape of a frozen lake. Two or three lonely ice houses dot the far-off horizon.
In the center of the screen, through flying snow and ice that obscure most of the landscape, what appears to be a figure moving slowly toward the camera comes gradually into focus.
ENTER: A heavily bearded man (or woman) riding a double-decker Pugsley directly toward the viewer (medium shot).
As the shot cuts away, a chord from an electric guitar intermingles with the revving of a motorized auger.
CUT TO: Doomtree’s Dessa, wearing a Stormy Kromer and Steger Moosehide mukluks aggressively augering a hole in the lake’s surface.
