[Venice. A banderole reads “Psychiatry”. A woman is sitting at a tent entrance- a sign “the therapist is in” at her side. A TV journalist filmed by a young man is speaking in her mic]
WOMAN: In these tough economic times, necessity is often the mother of invention. It certainly is the case here. Because of one woman’s ingenuity, the spirit of that character is alive and well on the boardwalk. From Venice, I’m Adriana Gomez.

[Adriana’s smile fades- she interrupts the guy]
ADRIANA: You know what, Steve? I’ve got to get back to the van and get my head together for the next segment, okay?

♪ ♪ [He looks around, ♫ puts his cam back on his shoulder ♫ and films various stuff ♫ The cam spots Adriana’s back]

[He takes her face in his hands]
STEVE: Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. It’s going to be okay. Okay? You’re going to be okay.
[But her eyes are empty now…]
