Slow, gliding images of the naked female body, lying patiently, whilst a voice tells of her rape, eleven years previously. What happens to you when something like that takes place? In outbursts of fury, the woman beats powerlessly against the window frame: "In my powerlessness I left my body and went to a place within my head and my thoughts go out to other women who have experienced the same thing did they do they same? And the dying soldier, does he feel like that too?" Her body seems intact because the wounds in her feelings and thoughts are not visible, but she expresses them in a cadence of monotones, for: "a rapist doesn't care what you look like, what you wear a rapist doesn't care what you think and a rapist doesn't care what you feel ...". And again she beats with clenched fists against the window frame, giving voice to her fear of the possibility that such a thing might ever happen to her again.
