Stills
A couple at dinner. Woodblock portrait on the wall above them.
Drilling into the fence she's building. Overalls, backyard.
An older man at the kitchen counter, side-lit.
Close-up. Glasses, beard, the look held.
Painting the wood. Sundress, bandana, late afternoon.
On the phone. Eyes down. Someone's hand at the edge of frame.
Sanding the boards. Focus, sawdust on her dress.
Portrait at the window. Contemplative.
Brush in hand. Bandana, sundress, the work.
