City street scape: perhaps construction vehicles, rubbish trucks, bits of conversation.
MARK
And this?
EVA
I don’t know. It’s a bit...intense isn’t it? And I could never hear the bells, even if they rang, I wouldn’t hear them.
MARK
Bells?
EVA
Church bells.
I know I’m not religious but...I want to live where the bells ring.
MARK
Then I suggest a church.
EVA
One can’t live in a church.
MARK
No? No. I suppose not. Unless you’re homeless.
EVA
In what world do homeless live in a church? If they could live in churches, they wouldn’t be homeless. Point is, they have nowhere to live. I’m surprised they live at all.
MARK
You know what. I’m tired of this. And of your...attitude. You have a home. We have a home. Why are we here? I’m starting to suspect it’s me.
EVA
You? Why does it have to be about you always? You have nothing to do with this.
MARK
That’s my fear.
Where is home?
Eva, a not-too-recent immigrant, searches for a place that feels like home. She might lose Mark along the way. She might lose everything. But is hearing your heart beat fully again worth it?
