Dr. Nguyen interviews a psychoanalyst-cum-painter who devoted many years to painting portraits of homeless people. As her guest reports on the life stories of these marginalized, forgotten individuals, the host probes into his own process of being with them. In particular, she asks about the act of looking at another human being --what it requires of him and what it brings to him in terms of understanding theirs and his own humanity.
