 * Liz || At first we hear classical orchestral music with a fast tempo. This starts when Hanna notices Michel on the tram and turns to walk away from him (No dialogue on tram). Possibly violin/cello types of instruments. Music then slows to a moderate speed as the return to Hannas apartment and as they begin to argue the music dies out. Music begins again when Michel walks out, waits at her door, and begins to cry. This time it is slow piano music and often pauses for a short amount of time. It continues this way when they reconcile then stops when the scene ends. || Music from previous scene dies out as Hanna sitsat the table. There is no further music || Ongoing classical/orchestral music. Quietness when he gets to Hannas apartment and gets faster (as if it is matching his anxious mood) when they begin to argue. It's quite high pitched when they argue (building tension). The music stops when Hanna slaps him, then continues the same as before when, this time lower slightly calmer, as hAnna begins to bathe him. ||  ||   ||
