In a young actress sitting in a hospital office, we recognize a youthful Persephone. She is facing surgery that may become the final act of her personal play. By signing the consent form, the doctor, Hades, stamps the paper with a seal shaped like an obelisk — the coin given to souls in Greek mythology for their passage to the underworld. This gesture symbolizes the fatality of her decision.

Having deceived his nurse and left his mother to live out her life alone, a man believes he has bought himself peace. But there is a price to pay for everything, and the price turns out to be higher than he thought.
