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.
