Long shot of empty pier stretching into choppy, gray water reflecting gray cloudy sky. Sound of a few gulls and waves. Camera rotates to beach along long, empty and gray. Slow zoom to two lonely rock-like lumps. Soundtrack still waves and gulls. Slow zoom to lumps. Suddenly "Ethel, look, the sun." Towels and coats thrown to the sand reveal not rocks but a man & woman in bathing suits, heads face up, arms outstretched. "ahh, that's done." The two climb back into chairs silently covering themselves again with coats & towels. Logo slides onto screen, voiceover suggests taking a plane elsewhere for holiday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690719844994315327.post-21523278308064281632012-05-31T01:52:37.399-05:002012-05-31T01:52:37.399-05:00Germany has long been into the swimhall thing, ind...Germany has long been into the swimhall thing, indoor pools and open all year long.
