On a bare terrace stroll two old gentlemen greet each other courteously. They discuss topics: the past, the weather, old friends, moustache-styles, and the war. Are they perhaps in a small private hotel? But all is not quite what it seems, and soon enough we realize we are actually on the grounds of a mental hospital, and these old men are patients. With astonishingly sparse dialogue, we as an audience are moved to compassion, sympathy, and respect for these extraordinarily ordinary men.
