Rubens spins his subject swiftly, eagerly, to see and show the same thing from four view points all at once. Who was the model? No one knows his name.

On a tip, he finds lodgings in the Chelsea flat of Roddy (Robin Phillips), the son of "decayed gentle folk." Roddy's own insecurities lead him to identify more and more with Mackenzie's black friends and to lure him into a dead-end love affair with a white...
