As the curtain rises in Professor Walker’s modest home, it quickly becomes evident that life has dealt him a harsh blow. His left eye bears the marks of a recent mugging, a stark reminder of how fragile life can be. At the dinner table, his wife, Patricia, remains physically present yet emotionally distant, their conversation reduced to a hollow routine. The weight of their growing estrangement permeates the room, causing Walker to reflect deeply on the nature of existence. During this tense dinner, he admits to Patricia his struggles with self-worth, expressing a deep yearning for understanding about what truly makes life valuable.
