Just like heaven opening

The DreamWorks logo is seen at the start of the film. When the DreamWorks logo is visible the traditional DreamWork's tune is not used, so the music heard is a soundtrack which signifies love which will be present in the film.
The camera proceeds to be falling through the clouds of the DreamWorks logo which could be falling in love, falling in heaven, falling from the sky, angels falling?
The titles dissolve in and out.
Woman standing in rose garden represents love. The mistiness in the garden could represent things that are unclear. Looks like heaven. It was a dream, stereotype of a woman always dreaming of love. Career is a nurse or a nurse, shows she’s intelligent.
Handheld shot in the staff room. Reverse track. High angle/low angle of the doctors. The camera pans.  Jump cuts to show momentum of the passage of time. Good with all people and drinks lots of coffee. Friends say she is lucky for not having the problems of being in a relationship, but she looks unhappy.
Her sister is match making. The sister has a family, house and husband. The sister is happy and the other isn’t. Motherly stereotype of multi-tasking. “Beggars can’t be choosers”. Connotations, bright white light, clouds.
