An absurd gathering of venerable congressmen convenes in a decadent hotel, immediately followed by a young couple’s intimate discussion about their desire to bring a child into the world.

Opposing this is an entrenched aristocratic order, symbolized by the deadly sins, which resists the aspirations and fresh ideas of youth.
