They joke about pizza and dolls. In a hallway, a man looks through a window at a woman lying in bed. He is not smiling. In the apartment, a woman holds a child inside of her. This new life seems to purify her skin because an extra dimension of beauty has been added to an already-lovely face. In the hallway, a man watches a pale, withdrawn woman. There is something inside of her as well -- a disease, a bad spirit, something ugly and tainted. In the apartment, a man sits by a woman and enjoys her laughter. He can't remember the last time that he heard her sound carefree. In the hallway, a man tries to remember the laughter of a young boy. In the apartment, a woman thanks a man for giving her courage to face the strangeness of life. In the hallway, a man is still looking for his courage. It all depends on where you are.
