Storyline:
At the last minute, single mother Antonia puts her seven-year-old son on the bus which will take him to France for a vacation with his father and then turns up late for her work as a chambermaid in a luxury hotel. Most of the other staff are hostile over her casual attitude except one girl who, finding her in tears in the changing room, is sympathetic. Among her problems, Antonia says she has not been with a man for years, which her co-worker advises her to put right at the first opportunity.
Doing her rounds, Antonia comes into the apparently empty room of a single man, who bursts naked and wet out of the bathroom to answer his phone. She stands frozen while he talks and then starts looking for his clothes, upon which she realises he is blind. Searching for his shoes, he finds her feet and in silence starts exploring her body. She slowly responds, and soon the couple are busy making love. Lying hot and happy on the bed afterwards, he lights a cigarette and the sprinkler in the ceiling soaks them both.
