Freitag, der 29. Juli in Dublin. Das Wetter ist wie vorhergesagt, die Stadt vor Cathals Bürofenster liegt in gleißendem Sonnenschein. Nach einem scheinbar ereignislosen Tag mit Budgetlisten und Bürokaffee nimmt Cathal den Bus nach Hause. Die Landschaft zieht an ihm vorüber, die waldigen Hügel, auf denen er noch nie gewesen ist, und er denkt an Sabine.
