FADE IN ON:
EXT: SKY - DAY
[A WHITE BIRD soaring. The sky is a glorious explosion of blue and
mauve and lavender. The setting sun washes the clouds with a delicate pink tint. The bird swoops and spirals and we are right there with him. Then suddenly, below us, an extraordinary sight appears.]
EXT: LABYRINTH - DAY
[It is the labyrinth, an enormous maze of incredible mandala like
intricacy. From our magnificent vantage point, we are barely able to make out its details: the twisting walls interrupted here and there by lush forest, the complex web of waterways, the forbidding castle at the core. It is vast and magical, frightening and compelling at the same time. We would love to linger, perhaps fly lower and get a better look at this wondrous place, but the bird flies on]
EXT: GLADE - DAY
[It is an idyllic setting, warm and inviting. The late afternoon sun
washes everything with a pink glow. Between the water and a line of lush fruit trees is a flower-strewn glade. A FIGURE emerges from the trees and walks toward the water. It is a YOUNG WOMAN dressed in a flowing white dress that swirls around her in the breeze. The pink light burnishes her hair and causes a gold circlet she wears on her head to glow. She is breathtaking, a vision of innocence and grace. She stops to pick a flower and then turns suddenly as if she has heard something.]
GIRL: Is it you?
[She takes a few hurried steps and then stops, smiling shyly]
GIRL: Your Highness!
[The GIRL curtsies deeply and then looks up through lowered lashes,
the shy smile still dancing on her lips. And then we pull back to reveal
a crown perched on a head of tight curls. We are looking through
the crown at the girl as she rises slowly, then looks boldly
at the PRINCE.]
