Opening scene

Everyone, two months, one bridge, ten people. I've already drawn up the schedule. He stands on the stone steps of the village head's courtyard, the dates written in ballpoint in tight rows across his palm, rolled blueprints poking out of his canvas bag. Three hundred pairs of eyes are on him, and nobody makes a sound. Week one, surveying. Week two, materials. Week three... He can't finish. Behind the village head, an old man with white hair gently shakes his head and walks away. The fingers gripping the blueprints tighten, and at last his gaze lands on you in the crowd.
