The content of the work presents the problem of the divisions that politics creates. Its embodiment are the two ministers, and the gathering image of the society are the young men Paul and Dune. They are patients in a mental hospital and are separated by a high wall. The barrier does not prevent them from meeting and falling in love with each other. The wall itself, made of transparent material stretched over two frames, embodies their feelings and emotions. The audience sees only individual parts of the young men's bodies and actions - their hands and faces. Politicians perceive their reactions as a field for various experiments, reaching violence. But they are unable to control their feelings. The moment comes when the impulse and attraction between them gives birth to rebellion. It is expressed in the breaking down of the wall that separates them. This cannot be accepted by the politicians who again separate them by lulling the boy to sleep.
