"A man and a woman. Two bodies collide, repel, attract each other. Two souls explore each other: fusion and self-assertion, antipathy and addiction to unification. The fight of two strong wills, at the borders to the lust to destruct, occupy, subordinate. The production broaches the issue of the oftenly acclaimed "ever lasting fight of the sexes" as an extension of cultural conflicts."
