On the highest board we see Ivan, a passer-by, resting on his towel. Alexander turns his cassette on and starts doing some stretching after which he falls exhausted unto the bed. Then his attention is pulled by music coming from outside, music that Ivan is playing. Ivan starts to dance sensually to the music. Alexander is locked to this image and can not pull his eyes away. He craves a touch, just to feel Ivan’s sun-kissed skin of his body, his eyes..However, he remains inside and spies on Ivan with a set of binoculars. Cautiously he imitates Ivan’s dance as a form of admiration. When all of a sudden Ivan is gone, and Alexander fears he will never come back. He is furious that he let the chance slip by because he did not approach Ivan. With excitement he waits, hoping to see Ivan again. Fortunantly, Ivan returns to the divingboard the next morning. Now Alexander has to push himself to leave the safe and comfortable cottage for the scary outside world, a world with Ivan. When he spots competition for Ivan’s attention, her forces himself to take the step. Once outside, Alexander is rewarded by a smile and a touch of Ivan. Alexander is hit by a feeling of internal victory.
