Exterior late noon old world brick wall. We see a poster on the wall. A young child is staring at it. In the poster, there is a rocket with a porthole and in the porthole, a heart. There are bold letters reading "erstaunt." The child turns as if being called then runs away. A woman's face enters the frame. She crosses the street as we see the child running down the side walk. We see the woman's face again. She is looking very intently. There is a door. A man in a dark suit and hat bursts through the door in a hurry. The woman glides into the door unnoticed.
The woman walks briskly down a dark hallway. As she walks, she reaches into her hair and pulls out a bobby pin. She seems to know exactly where she's going. She stops. Voices in the distance. We're tight on the woman's face now. She's looking down, but her eyes see everything. She then goes to a door, spends a few seconds working the lock then enters the room. A filing cabinet slides open. With a flashlight she rifles through folders then opens one. In it she finds various designs. Medical looking charts with numbers. Exaggerated photos of super planes that look like they would never fly. Then, she sees what she is looking for. A photo and plans of a small round chrome device with wires and tubes. On it, is stamped a heart. We slowly transition to time lapse clouds.
We're in a white room now with beeping medical noises. We see a series of wires being connected to a body. More wires. Then we barely see a mouth and face through a series of wires and tubes with fluids running through them. The image starts shaking as we hear the sound of a rocket taking off. Lips curl into a smile.
The End.
