Taking up his assigned identity as an artist, Rock frets because he cannot paint. Beside the sea, he meets a strange young woman (Salome Jens) who has apparently found peace by abandoning her husband, two children and a wall oven. Together they attend a nudie bacchanal that ends with everyone trampling grapes in a large...
