Every Monday, in a small hotel by the docks three couples meet up Mrs Z. and Mr A., Mrs A and Mr Y, and Mrs Y and Mr Z. They are all cheating on their partners, without knowing that their own husbands and wives are lying in bed in the room next door with someone else. The bespectacled young man who works in the small hotel knows all the guests and also knows about their secret rendezvous. He, too, partakes in this love game.
Suddenly, a brief flash, a moment of irritation, something is wrong. Suddenly, Mrs Z has two heads, and Mr A is missing his mouth. Mr Y’s heart burns while his wife’s heart turns to stone. The girl rides her bike through the night in search of the boy. What happens in the hotel and its exterior is the result of a surrealist imagination. Nothing remains as it is.
