western opening scene barking dog

Barking is infused with a sense of mystery, the anticipation that something is about to happen. A car is parked outside a house in a rural Nova Scotia landscape. A dog barks into the distance. A woman enters the frame, looks for the object of the dog's barking, and leaves. The camera pans the landscape, revealing nothing. With its intimations of an off-screen narrative, this simple scenario carries an unsettling implication of the limit of vision and the power of what is not seen.

After a stickup , gangsters fight for the loot and the story looks like a treasure hunt with a little hide and seek in a disused railway station,where the locomotives are still rolling.
