INT. ROOM - NIGHT 1

Darkness. The faint background hum of a refrigerator. A light

clicks on, briefly, then snaps off again.

Then on again, for a little longer.

We wake groggily with JACK (five), blinking up at MA (26).

She's standing in a worn t-shirt and underwear beside a lamp,

switching it on and off at apparently random intervals. She

cranes up at the recessed skylight, Room's only window.

The irregular flashes of lamp-light reveal glimpses of this

little world lined with cork: ten foot a side, seven foot

high, gabled ceiling rising to ten foot.

Clusters of Jack's and Ma's vivid drawings are pinned all

over the walls, quivering in the draft from the vents. Done

with five crayons (red, yellow, blue, orange, green) and

pencil on toilet tissue, lined pages or cardboard, they show

dogs, trees, aliens, rocket ships, figures labelled 'Jack' or

'Ma'. Delicate mobiles (uncooked spaghetti, threads,

plastics, foil, down from pillows, cloth scraps) dangle.

A wardrobe with slatted louver doors. On top, toys crafted

from garbage, a Labyrinth from toilet-roll insides.
