In the aftermath of the Trojan Wars, Queen Hecuba takes stock of the defeated kingdom. Her son has been killed, and his widow, Andromache, is left to raise their son, Astyanax, alone. Hecuba's daughter, Cassandra, fears being enslaved by her Greek masters, while Helen of Troy risks being executed. Astyanax also becomes the focus of the Greeks' attention as the last male heir of the Trojan royal family.

A mature woman frequently goes to the lower floors of Azca to connect with the spirit of youth. Upon being assaulted by an attractive young man, she proposes to him to share the soft drugs that she carries in her purse.
