PORTRAIT OF SEBASTIÁN DE MORRA - AN ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

 TITLE CARD: INSPIRED BY ACTUAL EVENTS 

FADE IN 

INT. OLD STONE BARN - DAY 

Inside a stone barn. It's obviously very old. Farm animals in rough, wooden pens, a mule, a couple goats, a pig or two.  There is a black and white dog with some frisky puppies. 

We see a man, this is SEBASTIÁN DE MORRA. He is sitting on a wooden, three-legged milking stool. He has a large book.  It is looks old, leather bound. He is reading aloud to the dogs. 

SEBASTIÁN 

If you have men who will exclude any 

of God's creatures from the shelter 

of compassion and pity, you will 

have men who will deal likewise with 

their fellow men. 

The dog is looking at Sebastián, her head cocked to one side. 

SEBASTIÁN (CONT'D) 

I know that is true. 

The door to the barn opens. A MAN wearing a brown monk's robe is there. 

A MAN 

Brother Ignatius want to see you. 

Sebastián stands. We now see he is a Little Person, a dwarf, as they were called then. He is dressed in simple woolen clothes. He has curly, dark brown hair, collar length, uncombed. He has a beard, rough and untrimmed.
