Londra, 1908. La capitale britannica si prepara ai Giochi della IV Olimpiade.

Tra schermaglie sportive e romantiche gite tra i ranuncoli, si consuma quella che pare destinata a restare una fugace avventura.

Porta barba e capelli lunghi, a volte si rasa a zero, ha l'aria rilassata anche dopo centinaia di chilometri e decine di settori in pavé, macinati masticando polvere.
