SINGLE TO CRETE
The sun is already high above the jagged cliffs of the south coast of Crete. Two men in a boat are fishing with dynamite. One man is rowing, dipping the oars gently into the transparent blue-green sea. The other man is crouched over the bows, his head in a bucket. Through its glass bottom he can clearly see the patches of white sand and green seaweed. Large fish swim lazily across the seabed. He points his arm towards the left. The rower drops his oars, pulls out a bundle of brown sticks from his bag, lights the fuse with his cigarette and throws the dynamite into the water. The sea erupts in a cloud of spray. Silver bodies float slowly to the surface. Between the fish, a larger body with pink breasts and long blonde hair emerges. Her blue eyes stare emptily at the two men. Who is she ?
