On an overcast day, a man and a woman walk by the seaside with a large, lanky dog. A jogger passes them in the opposite direction. The dog pauses to sniff the ground and trots onwards.
Black text on a white screen appears, reading: 'What happens while', followed by a long black line. A man in a suit and tie and talking on a cellphone pulls up by the seaside in a white BMW.
Pocketing his cellphone, the bearded man chucks his briefcase in the boot of his car and dons a pair of aviator sunglasses.
White text reads: James, The businessman. Later, James makes another call.
Later, a shirtless James lies back on his beach towel on the sand.
Looking weary, he places his hands on his eyes, then trails his fingers through the pale sand.
Frowning, James sits up.
He looks distracted.
James hangs up, then with his brow furrowed, he stands, wearing only his boxer briefs, on the seemingly deserted beach.
He walks near the calm water's edge, scanning the horizon.
Looking pertured, James continues looking away from the water, his eyes darting. He ambles back to his pile of clothes and puts on his grey business shirt.
Later, now fully clothed, James marches down a street lined with leafy trees.
He slowly makes his way up a steep, craggy slope with dry vegetation. A man taps his finger on a takeaway coffee cup.
Wearing a singlet, the man has a greying beard and frizzy hair. He gives a wry smile and looks down.
He traces his finger around the white plastic lid, then removes it. Examining the dark liquid contents, he holds the cup to his mouth, pauses, then takes a sip.
White text reads: Rick, The retiree. Rick sits on a wooden chair in a leafy urban park. He jiggles his knee as he continues sipping his drink. With a shake of his head, he places the cup on a seat next to him then claps his hands together.
Taking his phone from his back trouser pocket, Rick scrolls through his contact list. He presses the screen to call Craig Anderson and holds the phone to his ear.
Rick looks up, confused.
Rick frowns.
Pocketing his phone, Rick gets up and leaves his takeaway cup on the seat. He casts his eyes skyward as he walks away. A woman with tightly curled brunette hair holds a penci!to her mouth.
A woman with tightly curled brunette hair holds a penci!to her mouth.
White text reads: Jess, The student.
Checking behind her laptop, Jess locates her phone under a pile of papers.
Jess disconnects the call and looks around, her eyes roving.
Later, Jess is outside, making her way through the grassy foliage on a slope before trotting out of sight.
Jess emerges on to a dry plateau under a cloudless sky where Rick and James stand. James gives a small shrug, and Rick gestures to his ear.
James nods. Jess' eyes widen.
James shields his eyes as he looks up into the harsh sunlight.
The trio glances at each other, and Rick and Jess shake their heads.
Rick raises his arms.
James shakes his palms.
Rick follows him. After a moment's thought, Jess also follows.
She jogs to catch up and falls in line between Rick and James, who put an arm around her shoulders.
The trio head off the plateau and towards the scrub. Cut to black. A woman is on the phone while pegging out washing.
Subtitles read: No, I couldn't. I have to finish, really.
No! What are you talking about? Of course, yes, our luggage is ready.
Listen, I cannot talk right now. I have to leave you. White text reads: Zoe, The next one.
