It starts when Kee, Theo, Theo's wife Julian, the midwife Miriam, and
Luke, the driver, get into the car. Julian and Theo play with a
ping-pong ball. A burning car is pushed onto the road ahead, our
party ****fts into reverse, a motorcycle pulls up next to the
retreating car and the passenger shoots and kills one of our party.
There is much screaming, the motorcycle crashes, our party finds a
side road and turns around. A police car p***** our party, then turns
around and pulls our party over. Guns are fired, Luke and Theo (and
the cameraman) get out of the car and argue, then Theo and Luke get
back in the car. The camera watches our car drive off. End of shot.
That's the longest and most impressive, but I don't think there's a
bad shot in the entire film.
