We open on a midrange shot of a landing of a flight of stairs. A man dashes past the camera, panting. The camera pans out over a space in the floor, surrounded by stairs on the four sides, like an apartment building. The walls are windowless, and a deep red, as is the carpet.

He sighs heavily as he takes a drag.
