The city outside and the city within. Inside: a couple starting to grow old. Outside: a city in constant flux - new buildings, a noisy airport, a troubling new neighbor, gossip.

Rosa and Benjamin: What's absent or left unsaid tells as much as what comes inside a confining frame - what we put off-limits exposes what we take for granted.
