Two films about the interior and exterior of affliction. The hero gets it from playing dead in a river, the heroine from being "allergic to the 20th century".

Keywords: hermeticism, allergy, AIDS metaphor, bodies, bent neck, leaking water in father's room, icy detachment, nosebleed,  pine-scented, steam, Mcdonalds, black instead of teal, being held by the pillion-rider, slowly revealed that this is a family, could be a gay film.
