THE TUBE WITH A HAT
Portrait
There’s a Bruce Lee film on Sunday night, but the TV’s broken. Seven-year-old Marian reminds his dad of the promise he made: together they wrap the device up in a blanket and set off on the difficult journey to reach a repairman in the nearest town. It’s a true odyssey undertaken by a modern Sisyphus, but in the end, though the picture may be shaky, an image lights up the screen.
