Up a barren hill, about 100 meters away, an abandoned and partially burned farmhouse comes into view. Charred tree trunks bear witness to a past fire that led to the place&#39;s abandonment. They disembark from the trolley, carrying a water container and a basket of food. Leaving the trolley under the scorching sun, they slowly make their way toward the farmhouse up the hill. Tom&#39;s feet quicken their pace as they approach, with Lara and Leroy trailing behind. Not far from the house, a dried-up well stands.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"direction:ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:24px\"><span style=\"font-family:Tahoma,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><strong><u>INT.
