Synopsis

The synopsis of the events of our opening sequence are as follows:

Two teenage boys are climbing an embankment, it being the highest point around in the famously flat Fens, this is symbolic of they're striving for escape getting to something higher. Once there they realise that this is all there is, it doesn't get any higher than this, (seemingly pessimistic-possibly change of opinion in the rest of the film, realises that it doesn't matter? etc.). They then go home passing through the Fen countryside, into their small rural village where they live, past pensioners etc. The two boys then split going to their different houses, we then follow the boy who will (probably) become our main character (if not at least one of the more important ones). He then carries on going home alone til he gets home, where his parents are arguing as he enters, they try to drag him into the argument, but he ignores them and we follow him upto his room where he slumps down on his bed. This is the end of the opening sequence.
