Story
In 'Requiem', a young boy visits a doctor's clinic with a red mark on his face. The doctor's wife, instead of her husband, greets him and offers him food. She notices his eating habits resemble those of her previous husband who died in prison years ago. The boy reveals he was the late husband's cellmate for a year and recounts how he died. This triggers flashbacks for the woman, reminding her of her first husband's struggle with sexual repression and their shared past. She then focuses on helping the young boy overcome his own repressions, ignoring calls from her current husband.
