Three female surveillants in the shift are reading. They read a poem related to their work, a prose piece describing their work environment, an excerpt from Franz Kafka’s The Burrow, and the myth of Prometheus in the theater respectively. Their readings are rusty, and this rusty somehow corresponds to the incompatibility between them and the middle-class lifestyle of their everyday working place.
