In a future where the world suppresses the arts, Serena strives in the underground promoting the return of the arts. Her henchmen and bodyguards Karl, Franco, and Honora work for her. Or so she believes. Both Franco and Honora are moles and agents to the totalitarian regime, however Honora catches Franco listening to classical music. Franco challenges her to listen, recalling memories of Honora's mother who was a pianist! A brief argument ensues with Honora jealously accusing Franco of sleeping with the arts rebel Serena. Honora calls them all in to the authorities. Franco calls out to Serena and Karl alerting them that Honora truly is a mole. After shooting Franco, Honora, torn and as an act of despair, shoots herself.
