The screenwriter leaves on a journey and asks the gogo-boy to accompany him. A scandal breaks out and the gogo-boy's antics lead to both men's meeting with the narrator.

The narrator relates the story taking place between the two men and questions the relationship between fantasy and the reality of love.
