Synopsis

A young man, seated on his bed, plays guitar in his room. A young woman unexpectedly runs in, saying: "He ran away as soon as I mentioned the table cloth." The unhappy girl cries, but then lays next to the young man and the couple makes love. The girl asks the boy to tell her something nice. The boy gives her an apple and pours her some wine. The girl toasts their first child and reminds him she would buy a beautiful table cloth to cover their wedding table. The boy does not want to listen to her any more and invites her to bed again. The woman replies: "I am coming..."
