An extremely handsome, self-involved, brooding young man escapes the realities of his street life through a series of fantasies of incredible beauty. Obsessed with his own perfection, he lives in a dreamworld of fantastic colors, magnificent music, elaborate costumes, and strikingly handsome males. But reality constantly intrudes through the depraved lives of the other street people, through the harsh and ugly sounds outside, and through the visits of his “johns.” His narcissistic enchantment with his own beauty and lifestyle is marred by one great fear—aging and the loss of his youth and good looks.
