I guess I should've explained when I posted it, but that video does have an intended meaning (it's in the 70s, which means it's Modern).  The setting is supposed to be a cafe, but it comes off more as a cafeteria in a mental hospital.  The whole thing's half an hour long or so, and is made up of different scenes involving two patients, a doctor, and a mincing visitor in high heels and a red fright wig.  I think the story's supposed to be mostly about the visitor and her own descent into madness (maybe she's a new patient?).

Anyway, that scene that I posted is about behavioral modification: The psychologist is trying to modify the couple's behavior into a more standard (read: socially acceptable) model, i.e.: kissing and such, but the couple keeps going back to clinging to each other.  In the end, instead of learning the new behavior, the learn the process of modification, which, I'm sure, happens more often than people would like to say.
