Who is Virginia?

What did she understand?

What does she warn Emmanuel against?

The whole thing remains mysterious and incomprehensible, but the boy is afraid. Suddenly he fears that he has ended up in a perverse and sadistic game, that he is the sacrificial victim of some ritual of which Gianni may be the officiant.

Yet, despite everything, he recklessly decides to trust, in the name of the power of love in which he has always believed, with a blind and irrational faith.

It's do or die.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony and Nicole.

The soundtrack includes covers of "The Confession" by Autoheart and "Terrible Things" by Brick + Mortar.

Gianni takes Emmanuel with him to the deconsecrated Gothic church in Merate, near Lecco, for a very special photo shoot, in which the boy will be asked to play Apollo and the archangel Gabriel, with a view to setting up an exhibition.

But Emmanuel, however burned by his previous experience (see "The Iron Mask"), realizes that he can no longer make excuses to avoid sexual contact with Gianni, who seems to have mellowed and "normalized" in the meantime, even though his mind occasionally seems to be clouded. Therefore, he tries to trust him.

But a strange and unexpected encounter troubles him deeply.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony and Nicole (IA).

The soundtrack includes instrumental tracks from "Stalker's Tango" (Autoheart).

Emmanuel, upset by Gianni's attempt at violence (see "The Iron Mask"), seeks some serenity in the company of Mayra, who helps him as much as she can to prepare for the Greek philosophy exam (the boy has meanwhile enrolled in the Faculty of Philosophy).

But, quite unexpectedly, Mayra says she totally disagrees with Plato's thinking in the "Crito," and gives the boy a series of examples that leave him baffled.

Eventually Emmanuel confides to Mayra what happened to him with Gianni: the woman, deeply affected, understands that the boy needs protection.

Many months have passed since Gianni and Emmanuel met at the Paradise Bar (see "Paradise Bar"), and the two are now a stable, if clandestine, couple.

Gianni has decided to organize a large exhibition of his best photos in Milan and wants Emmanuel to be present at the opening.

But some photos depict Emmanuel as a model, and Gianni's partner Massimiliano, a famous painter, will also be there...

How does Emmanuel avoid being recognized?

Gianni has an idea: he dyes the boy's hair red, puts glasses on him, and dresses him like a somewhat nerdy college student.

From now on he will no longer be Emmanuel, but Christian, Gianni's secretary.

The performers are Paul Emmanuel, Anthony, Mark, and Nicole.
