A young woman, dressed in a 17th century dress looks out over a lake. We move towards her and disappear underneath her dress, where we find ourselves inside a small theatre. A young lad on stage, Tom Sawyer, tells us a tale about a ‘fallen lady’ who tries to ogle him. Later he finds her dead body on a field.
