People can meet each other in various ways. This video covers paths which we feel compelled to follow but which are not demonstrable. The images speak for themselves. We see a boy on a railway platform approach a girl, apparently with the intention of getting to know her. In the background, the image of soldiers marching to the front. We are climbing a large treadmill in our compulsion for sex. This video suggests that sex and violence are closer to each other than we suspect. Images of people making love are interchanged with shots of war and many of the contacts made end violently whereby the woman usually gets the worst of it.
