Two women let me in their home, the place that they are committed to take care of. Once inside, I started looking for signs of routine, gestures, silent movements that reveal the long-extended time which they are confined to. All these signs were hidden in the kitchen where the daily activities take place in order to keep the household organism standing. What astonished me the most was to find their husbands across the street, sitting together, playing card games in a very dark and smoky tea house. I wonder whether they are aware of what happens at home, since apparently they would just linger there letting time go by, waiting for dinner time to go home. I soon understood that it is about two different poles that coexistent together but do not meet in front of the public eye.
