After enduring a tumultuous relationship with a captivating yet unpredictable woman, driven by a desperate desire for tranquility, William makes the difficult decision to part ways with her and retreat to an old, dilapidated house by the sea. There, he immerses himself in music and astronomy, seeking solace and inner peace. However, his troubled mind leads him to seek temporary relief, and he encounters Dorothy, a carefree and vibrant woman who captures his heart despite his unwavering resolve.

Fearful of losing his independence, William attempts to quench his infatuation by seducing a compassionate yet unsuspecting woman, hoping she can provide him with shelter until his feelings subside. However, as time passes, he inadvertently gives her a valid reason to leave him, leaving him with no choice but to confront Dorothy.

Unable to escape his inclination, William grapples with his conflicting desires while she, sensitive to his repressed emotions, becomes increasingly eager and frustrated. As his feelings for her manifest in actions, he must accept them, igniting an increasing interanimation that hints at a shared consciousness. Yet, the seemingly incompatible longing for serenity and her yearning for absolute love create an insoluble conflict that forces him to leave her.

As he runs away, he feels the bond between them strengthen to a point where he is irresistibly drawn back to her. Together, they reach a state of reciprocal acceptance, where their desires are harmonized. However, William's desire for freedom and her longing for companionship lead him to abruptly leave her, expecting her to join him shortly in the jungle, believing that he can have the best of both worlds.

The anagnōrisis leaves him in a similar yet distinct situation from where he tried to escape a year ago. Character determines fate, and an all-consuming love intertwines with destiny, shaping their lives in profound ways.
