Rural, run down setting slight pan of the surrounding area, character appears follows the pan and walks up to the door of a three story flat. Quite dated decor on the exterior.
Cut to Mother inside the house. Moody lighting setting the scene immediately. Background sound of ITN news 1993. Character is looking out the window from where the boy is coming in. Light cutting though the smoke. A pile of paintings are on the table with a packet of cigarettes and a can of cider.
