Pablo is a twenty-year-old man who wants to be a musician to be appreciated by his mother and to find a male partner he can love. He finds one, but because of his demanding behaviour, is soon alone again. He tries to become a French horn player in the Youth Spain National Orchestra, but the examiner turns out to be his father who's been living apart from his family and doesn't really accept Pablo's sexual trends. Once Pablo fails his exam, he feels depressed. When another French horn player from Valencia hasn't got a place to sleep, Pablo takes him home to his house. The next morning, however, he finds a girl named Salome inside his bed.
