Southeast Asia.  Modern day.  Nearer to the city now, the bus thumps and bumps to a slower pace.
Grinding gears mark spaces between dirty children, playing obliviously in the road.
Neither village nor metropolis, outskirts have no identity:
Just a blurry line of encroachment;
a temporary half-life on the way to something more.

Dust springs up from the tires of trucks headed both ways on the road.
A little girl stands crying in a mud puddle; her brothers laughing from the sides.
She has to learn rejection to participate in this brutal, belonging dance.
A little life, and a little death
for a product truly worthy of its name: a good woman is hard to find.

First century Palestine.  Jesus walks away from the camera down a road that goes through town with several of His disciples.   Jesus wears a plain robe like most ordinary men.  The other people are dressed like peasants, farmers, and tradesmen.  There are also women in the group, wearing plain, everyday clothing.  Some children are playing near the roadside.  The Sea of Galilee shines in the far distance.

At the bustling Kuala Lumpur airport, Wing-Sun and his Mother say farewell to his father before he leaves for a six‐week business trip to London.  We see Wing Sun and his mother from the back, as Father stands on the escalator going up to his departure gate, and turns toward us to wave goodbye.  Many other passengers and children are standing around.  The airport is modern and well lit.

First century Palestine.  Jesus walks away from the camera along a road that goes through town with several of His disciples.   Jesus wears a plain robe like most ordinary men.  The other people are dressed like peasants, farmers, and tradesmen.  There are also women in the group, wearing plain, everyday clothing.  Some children are playing near the roadside.  Merchants are selling their goods in booths along the road.  There are houses along the road also.  The road goes upward toward the Temple in the far distance.
In Penang, Malaysia.  Wing Sun's Grandmother is elderly and lives in Penang, on the island.  Grandma's house is in a quieter part of the island, closer to the coastline where the sea breeze can be felt through the wooden windows. It's near the ocean, in Tanjung Bungah where there are old-style homes and a slower pace of life.  There are many resort "homestay" hotels, and also some high-rise condos, but Grandmother's house has been there many years.  Wing-Sun's mother grew up in that house, near the beach, with the ocean breeze.  We see the house from down the street with Grandma standing in the doorway greeting us.
