Large iron door |
| Description: |
A mysterious horn call is heard as the film fades in from black to an iron door and we see a grotesque-looking door knocker; the horn is answered by rising chromatic string gestures that grow more and more intense; in between each of these orchestral statements (during the silence), a hand reaches up and knocks on the iron door |
