Nous rencontrons notre personnage principal, Arno, face au décor du Sahara africain. Arno, un schizophrène, est hanté par l’image d’un vieil homme habillé en blanc. Arno le voit errer à travers des ruines. Lorsqu’il comprend finalement que deux personnes vivent à l’intérieur de son corps, seule la mort lui permettra de trouver le réconfort et le soulagement.
