1980

Cat no. 3210

Story about a girl watching from her house as a boy passes regularly on his bicycle.

Drama. A young woman watches a young man who cycles past her farmhouse in a deserted landscape. One day his bicycle has a fault; she goes outside to talk to him and invites him into her house where she appears to live alone. He cleans himself up, they sit by the fire, they eventually sleep together. In the morning he leaves the house. A dance dream sequence follows. The film concludes with a shot of the house now derelict with graffiti on the walls reading `Orange. Up Yours. W.F.' There is a photograph left there which is a view from the window when she first saw the cyclist. She tears it up.
