M/S of rock, camera tilts down to reveal a window cut into the rock with two children looking out - a house inside a cave. M/S of a boy walking through caves towards the camera. "Not so many windows as, say, this edifice - " M/S of a block of flats with balconies (same block as seen in "The Garden in the Sky") - camera tilts down. "But the sandstone cliff makes a good home, and it’s weatherproof!" M/S of the house in the cave - various things are balanced on the rock face - a teapot, a small statue, a lamp. M/S of the entrance to another cave home. High angle shot showing young boys emerging from behind a rock, washing hangs on a line. M/S of boy carrying pail of water into a cave house, a woman holding a baby walks towards the camera. - Researcher Comments
