EXT. BORDER CROSSING - DAY FOR NIGHT
I'm traversing the little-known border between the eastern U.S. and Russia. In the distance I see Tsarist architecture with two statues of angels in a courtyard. Between the angels stands a statue I think might be Lenin with his standard outstretched arm, but I'm not quite close enough to make it out. Then I notice yellow traffic turtles on the pavement and other barriers and fear I may have strayed onto Russian territory without crossing the border legally, so I beat a hasty retreat.
Walking down a corridor I become lucid, close my eyes and ask to see the Lenin statue up close but nothing happens.
