To the surprise of their neighbors, an elderly couple clambers to the roof of their house and starts removing the chimney. Brick by brick, they obliterate it in a single day. Then they proceed to the roof. Piece by piece, they remove it completely. Piles of construction materials start growing in their front yard. The elderly couple proceeds with the house itself. Their neighbors are consternated. The whole village begins to watch the demolition day in and day out. Piles in the front yard keep growing. Once the elderly couple is finished with the cellar, as well, their front and back yards are piled high with construction materials, appliances, and furniture. Their job accomplished, one evening the elderly couple takes to the road. They are holding their hands as they walk out of the village. Thousands of people lining the road watch them in silence. They never turn back. They never utter a single word.
