The Grind
An actor in a yellow coat and hat stares at the screen, pretending to spray something into his mouth. In the background, three haggard-looking actors huddle beneath a tree. A sign on the tree reads: "PRETEND THERE ARE NO LEAVES." Another sign below it reads: "A COUNTRY ROAD, A TREE, EVENING."
