INT. HENDERSON'S RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM (1949) - DAY

ADULT SUNJI (V.O.)
(in an East Indian accent)
In the East, it is commonly
acknowledged that the spirit
can take possession of any
other body...There have also
been frequent cases in the
Western world to prove this...

PAN ACROSS the 1940s DECOR. When the MANTELPIECE comes into
view, HOLD and PUSH IN on the HENDERSON'S WEDDING PICTURE

looking couple in their twenties.

ADULT SUNJI (V.O.)
(continuing)
For Walter Henderson, memories
of life as an Englishman were
fading.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. HIMALAYAS - DAY

Follow a steady aerial sweep of the mountain range to the
East. Several snowcapped peaks and glacial valleys pass by.

ADULT SUNJI (V.O.)
(continuing)
Two years had passed, until
eventually, the English teacher
had mysteriously lost all memory
of the life before...He had
instead, the full memory of a
Tibetan from childhood, onwards...

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. LHASA, TIBET - DAY (SUMMER, 1915)

See an aerial view of a fertile valley, with stony roads and
paths connecting the inner life of the city to the outer fields.
