sisters are watching. The youngest of the 2
leaves the room so only the oldest remains. The
oldest then sees a strange man in the TV who is
knocking on the glass of the TV inviting her in.
She then goes closer and finds herself inside a
strange world behind the TV.
He then offers her a flower (or a gift of equal
value), he then walks behind a picture frame and
becomes like a drawing, he then accidently falls
into a hole and appears in a painting back at the
home. Geese the fly past the painting as he gets
pulled up by the girl.
He then thanks her for helping him up as they
see her sister the tv monitor. He then has an idea
and jumps into the TV. In the TV he interacts To be the sound of wild geese calling
with an advert and knocks her over as he looks
surprised, this is then seen by the younger sister To be ten seasons in a night
he spills her drink.
He then runs out of the TV and tells her to come To dance the sun beyond the tides of war and
with, they then run through the paintings and peace
pictures in the house to a picture of a jungle
which they climb inside. They then run out To put silence stained by crimes to flight

In slow motion the couple run towards the TV I need to heart-break-loose-the wind
through the picture frames and eventually end
up just outside the TV, he then covers her eyes Dedela umoya wami, Baba
as they walk onto the surface of the moon. (Set my spirit free, father)
While all this is going on the family are Take my heart away (repeat)
searching for her and then they see her on the
TV.
At the end there will either be a quote by the
artist Johnny Clegg or her going to the dining
table and the family asking her where she has Sing me the songs that won the battle

Sing me the first and the last man's glory
Sing me the songs that taste of freedom
