Here is the scene from the script describing Lema looking across the street.
EXT: STREET IN NORTHERN QUARTER
Lema looks across the street
(Dream like sequence, hypnotic
and slow )
A woman sets up a wooden block, a paint brush and a jar of
water. She paints characters onto the wood block with water.
They fade and disappear. She does the same onto a shop
window. These characters also seem to evaporate once
written. A man, Dominant Language, crashes into her. She
falls onto her knees and the glass jar holding the water
shatters. The fallen woman tries to say something but no
sound comes from her. The man looks deliberately at Lema and
then walks on without trying to help the fallen woman.
