Man is deaf and woman touches herself

An other-worldly story, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1962, where a mute janitor working at a lab falls in love with an amphibious man being held captive there and devises a plan to help him escape.

A man struts around. He removes his T-shirt, and throws it to the floor while eyeing a magazine cutout of a nude woman. She is hung dangling in the foreground, her scale shifting continuously as the camera moves back and forth. We hear two women's voices, one a voiceover of coaxing suggestions, the other a soundtrack of responsive moans and sighs. He responds to the directions of the real woman. He stalks, approaches, sizes up and then goes in for a kiss.
