VILLAGE SQUARE - NIGHT The entire village has gathered. Emeka's body lies on a mat, covered with a white cloth. Women wail. Men stand somberly. Okechukwu is at the center, weeping the loudest. He throws himself on the body. OKECHUKWU (50) (wailing) "MY BROTHER! MY ONLY BROTHER! WHO WILL I TURN TO NOW?! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?!" CLOSE UP ON: The Village Elders, watching Okechukwu with sympathy. ELDER NKWOCHA (to another elder) "See how Okechukwu mourns. He truly loved his brother. Such a good man." ELDER OKONKWO "Yes. A pillar of the family. We must support him in this dark time."
