A pair of glasses hangs from a vertical pole, their frames and lenses swaying slightly in a black-and-white, grainy shot. The scene cuts to a white, curved object resting on a surface, then to a fragmented, metallic sculpture of a face, followed by a split-screen image with a yellow-tinted scene of people in white uniforms on the left and a dark, abstract image on the right. The sequence ends with the silhouettes of three people standing before a brightly lit, rain-streaked window display at night.
