The Folded Earth
Storyboard Text
- Both of them defied their families to live together happily in Hyderabad, far away from the high peaks of Himalayas.
- Michael, a Christian press photographer and a mountaineering enthusiast.
- Maya, a Hindu teacher who is also a lovable and understanding wife to Michael.
- One year, Michael decided to go on a trek to Roopkund, a lake in the Himalaya at aboutsixteen thousand feet. It is reached by a long, hard climb toward the Trishul, a snow peak that is more than twenty-two thousand feet high. For much of the year, its water remains frozen.
- Are you sure on what you're gonna do Michael? It's dangerous to go there...
- Maya, I've decided that I would go on a trek in Roopkund!
- The trek was not really difficult, it only sounded as if it was. And I know what to do now Maya.
- Michael had tried to reach Roopkund once before and failed because of bad weather and lack of experience
- A lot of people tried also to climb it and many of them failed and die.
- I know, just promise to me you'll come back safe to me okay?
- Don't worry Maya, I have better equipment now to use and I know what to expect. I'll be fine.
- I promise.
- Your hair, almost at your waist Maya. Where will it have grown to by the time I'm back?
- Your hair will be here? Or maybe longer?
- By the time you're home, you'll have beard again, like every other time.
- And you'll lost this, you'll be thin and starved.
- The news came to me by way of my landlord, who had a telephone. They had found Michael’s body after three days of searching. It was close to the lake, I was told, he had almost made it there when the landslides, rain, and snowstorms came and separated Michael from the others with him. His body had a broken ankle, which was no doubt why he had not been able to move to a less exposed place. And the face was unrecognizable, burned black by the cold.
- 3 days after...
- END...
