New York, notte. Un uomo e una donna camminano lungo la Quinta Strada. Entrano in un bar. Ne escono. Un altro bar. E riprendono a camminare, instancabili, come se la notte non dovesse mai finire. Si sono incontrati solo poche ore prima, in una caffetteria nei pressi di Washington Square, come due naufraghi, e ora «sono così tenacemente avvinti l'uno all'altro che la sola idea della separazione risulta loro intollerabile».
