Synopsis: A dark building: three old women murmuring mysterious words. A community clinic. A man, a woman, "locked" together in death’s grip. Yet the man doesn’t want to leave. The woman, life, tries to lead him away, but in vain.
The only people lurking around this closed scene are sick children. A mirror image of the two adults? Nothing seems to become resolved, nothing can be built, no one can escape...
Fade-out.
