MOVIE TITLE: LARA

 

EXT. DAY. LANDING STRIP WITHIN THE AIR SETTLEMENT

An aircraft resembling a small container, which emits jets of hot air from openings on its sides with much noise, is hovering in the air. The front corners of the flying trolley are equipped with four large, transparent windows that allow the pilot to navigate. The trolley "cruises" over a landing pad made up of a dense network of thin iron rods that run both horizontally and vertically.

 

A narrow sidewalk and railing made of the same dense metal mesh surround the landing pad. On the sidewalk stands Lara, a mature 35-year-old woman with gorgeous bright blue eyes and a completely bald head. She wears an orange jumpsuit and Japanese sandals and stands next to two empty containers and a carrying rod used to transport the buckets when they are full. She patiently waits for the aircraft to land on the surface in the middle of the plaza.

 

Looking below, a massive net composed of flexible wires can be seen extending underneath the entire enormous settlement. Interspersed between the clouds are occasional glimpses of the earth's yellowish-brown soil, dotted here and there with small patches of green shades. A metallic creak is heard as the trolley lands heavily on the pad, causing the entire structure to shake.

 

Abruptly, the silence is shattered as the trolley emits a loud noise like a silenced locomotive through its nostrils. After a few seconds, the side opening of the trolley slides open, and the woman hurries towards it. She disappears into the trolley for a moment before reemerging, carrying one container filled with vegetables and fruits and another container with a closed and steaming pot.

 

After standing for a moment, clutching two buckets carried by a device hanging from her shoulders and around the back of her neck, reminiscent of a water bucket carrier from an African village, Lara adjusts her eyes to the bright daylight. She then stands tall and slowly walks towards one of the ladders, with the buckets swinging around her as her hands grip the rungs of the ladder. She walks along the narrow sidewalk made of dense metal mesh, heading towards one of the remote overhead trolleys of the complex.

 

From the bottom, one can see her Japanese sandals stepping on the net as the two buckets protrude from the narrow sidewalk. Finally, she disappears inside one of the trolleys. Simultaneously, the noise of the flying trolley hisses again from below. Gradually, it ascends into the air and starts hovering away from the settlement. Six "hedgehogs" are scattered on its roof, and hot air vents on its sides emit a hissing sound.
