Uncle

A distant figure in a brushy, windy, black and white surrealistic landscape, one hand raised into the sky
A cloudy blue sky with three panels drawn over it; the text is in the form of a screenplay. PANEL 1. : EXT. GRASSY PLAINS- DAY / OLDER MAN'S VOICE (O.S.) There is a place where the earth is so close to the clouds... / A YOUNG MAN stands atop a grassy plain and stretches up towards the sky. / OLDER MAN'S VOICE (O.S.) (CONT'D) That you could touch the sky. The young man reaches into the cloud and pulls away a piece of it.
Three panels drawn against a cloudier sky. PANEL 1. A younger man stretches his hand out toward the viewer; it's holding a bit of cloud. PANEL 2. An older man does the same, reaching out of the panel toward us, he's holding a bit of cloud, too. PANEL 3: A young woman seated across the table set with dishes from a man who is offering her an enchanting handful of cloud.
