Film Notes

A young blond girl, so blond that she seems to emit light, begins falling asleep in the saddle of a sleepy, old horse, as if some evil spirit had cast a spell on her. The odd pair reaches a narrow bridge, only to find itself ahead of a car. The driver of the car frantically honks his horn, but he can’t manage to wake the sleeping girl. Nonetheless, the horse comes to an abrupt halt, causing a jolt that wrenches the girl from the arms of Morpheus, causing her to slide softly into the arms of the driver. He looks at her with surprise, and she naively tells him her story…
