Iqala ngentloko eyothusayo yokungqubana xa uWatts, ugqirha wezengqondo ogama linguGqirha Mary Portman ephulukana nomyeni wakhe kwaye enamathela kuxanduva lobomi bokukhathalela oyena usindileyo kuphela, unyana ongazinzanga oneminyaka eli-18 ubudala ogama linguStephen, idlalwe ngumntu omtsha ongenantlonelo uCharlie Heaton, onearhente ekusenokwenzeka ukuba iyacima Vala ukusuka kwinkcazo yomthengi wakhe njengoko sithetha. Ngesizathu esithile ukuba ingumbhali osandul 'ukuvela kwisikrini uChristina Hodson kunye nomlawuli we-Bhritane wase-Bhritane u-Farren Blackburn owaziyo, ugqirha olungileyo uxhonywe kwindlu ekude eMaine ngaphandle komkhonzi, echitha wonke umzuzu wobomi bakhe bodwa ukuba ahlambe, esondla kwaye ephulula i-ward yakhe encinci . Unxibelelwano lwakhe kuphela kunye nomhlaba ongaphandle ngugqirha wakhe (u-Oliver Platt), omcebisa nge-Intanethi kwiscreen sekhompyuter. Xa eqala ukuva ingxolo ezindongeni naphantsi komgangatho kwaye imikrwelo engaqondakaliyo ivele ebusweni bukaStefano, ukrokrela umoya wenkwenkwana engevayo eyayilahlekile eyakhe yanyamalala yaza yanikezelwa ekufeni.

(Kufuneka ukuba ibingabo bonke abo bathwala utywala obunqunu.) Yonke imovie ibonisa wonke umntu esilwela ukuhlala ephila ngelixa eleqwa zizithunzi ngumntu onezando. Akukho namnye uvuyo lokwenyani kuyo yonke le nto. Ndinento enkulu eyoyikisayo kwisitya sam segolide.
