Inside a train, Ricardo meets Arturo, an illegal traveler who gains money to live by playing Like a Rolling Stone on guitar in the streets.

The next day, Ricardo manages to share an apartment with Mamadou, who is from Burkina Faso. After partying all night, Ricardo wakes up besides a Greek woman named Yorda. After recovering his items, Ricardo encounters Marie-Ève, who shares an apartment with Raphi, a Spanish student. Marie-Ève and Raphi leave for a field trip in Florence. Ricardo suddenly remembers he was supposed to stay at their apartment waiting for a plumber. When he suddenly remembers, he realizes the apartment is flooded and hides in one of the beds in the bedroom. Later, Marie-Ève and Raphi come home and have sex and Ricardo catches them.
