The Twelfth Battle of Isonzo features two characters obsessed with the idea and anticipation of sex with each other. The man is old and desiccated, the woman only 17, and both are blind. She appears first, dressed in bridal clothes and tapping her way with a cane she soon breaks and throws away. He arrives in a rumpled black suit, with two white sticks he also discards. They begin a long conversation, touching on their lack of sight and the relationship, mostly sexual, to come.
