A woman and her young child travel down a cobbled roadway in late afternoon. The VW hasn't started in some time. The mechanic down the street won't look at it for less than a week's wages. As if lonely and neglected, the car's headlights sadly look down the road, patiently waiting for a buyer or other salvation.
