This film observes two figures who meet for the first time at a train station. They would be looked upon as grotesque by society, and we see that they are ignored by passers-by for the most part. It seems they are controlled by their instinct that it is not polite to stare. Yet the thing that most refuse to look at, is what brings healing and comfort for the pair. It seems they are free to acknowledge their peculiarity. This has ties with the idea of the bronze serpent from scripture.
