Konrad is “The Virgin”, grand master in the art of traveling. He is a thief, a beggar, a dealer, a whore, agigolo, a drug user, a lover; he is also one who waits. He touches nothing, nothing touches him. The outer world dissolves around him, so much is he with drawn in the network of his own whim. For Nina he is a role model and a goal at the same time, she is his Dorian Gray-image. While the events do not affect him at all, she lives through everything with great intensity; she gets involved, she gets hurt.
