It is 210BC. We are inside a large ancient warehouse. The sun is slanting in through some holes in the roof. We see rows of men in peasant clothes constructing life-size figures of terracotta soldiers from clay. Some are busy slapping the clay on to torsos in various stages of completion which all stand on square bases. Some are sculpting the legs and muscles and gradually building up the body. Others are pushing the clay into moulds to make arms and hands. In, the foreground there is a bench where there are a number of clay heads.
