Close up of toys lying on the floor.
Close up of clothes hung in an open wardrobe.
LITTLE GIRL sits on the floor of her room amongst her things. Her hair covers one side of her face.
A photo album sits in front of her on the floor.
She places a hand on the cover and gently strokes it as though the knows what's inside but is unsure if she should open it.
She brushes her hair to one side as she looks at the cover which reveals her right eye, which is considerably smaller.
She opens the photo album. The photos are of her, which start from when she was born. Each photo moves which shows different events from her life.
The photos are -
- After she is born - Held by her mother.
- As a baby - Laying on the floor with a mobile above her.
- First haircut - Covers her eye.
- At the optometrist - Trying on a large pair of glasses. The weight makes her lean to one side and falls over - Grandfathers legs can be seen.
- Getting into her mothers makeup - Draws a bigger eye over her smaller eye.
- Asleep - Surrounded by toys.
- Frst day of school - Standing in the doorway of her house in her school uniform.
- School photos - All her class mates. She is standing off to one side.
- Sitting in the back of the car - Grandfathers legs can be seen.
As the LITTLE GIRL moves through the pages there is a knock at the door. An OLD MAN walks in. The little girl turns around with tears in her eyes.
LITTLE GIRL
"Grandpa."
Her GRANDFATHER sits on the edge of the bed.
The LITTLE GIRL climbs onto his lap.
Her GRANDFATHER begins to brush the hair from her face, as he does it's shown that he also has something wrong with one of his eyes, it looks glass.
As he ceases to brush the hair from her face the LITTLE GIRLS eyes now seem to be the same size. The glass in her GRANDFATHERS eye has warped his vision and to him she looks as though nothing is wrong with her eyes.
GRANDFATHER
"You have always looked beautiful to me."
The LITTLE GIRL looks up and smiles.
They are shown in an embrace as it FADES TO BLACK.
