Death of a Hollow Man

 

 

A woman sits in front of two statues lit by candle light. There is holy music playing in the background. Something hits her, she cries out. A car is being driven in the dark. Someone drags a body out of the boot and dumps it in a lake.

The scene changes. Rehearsals are starting for the play 'Amadeus'. We then see Tom and Joyce Barnaby at home discussing the play. Joyce is taking part in the play and Tom is painting the scenery. We are then taken to a local bookshop and it appears the two men there are also involved in the play.

Meanwhile two boys are out rowing with their dog in the lake. They pass a body floating in the water.
