CHILDLIKE

A painter is held captive by his friends, in an empty room with ample colors and a canvas on the wall. His communication is cut off, and left alone with nothing much to do. It’s really hard to find a peace of mind with all the noise of building construction next-door.
His access to all the fun in the very next room is also denied. The first day and night passes. On the second day, trying to flee, he gets hurt and bleeds. Then a shemale friend attempts to seduce him to work. The second night, he gives up his resistance and starts painting. Seeing that he has painted the canvas, his friend lets him go at dawn.
As his friends are to abandon the place, they bring down the canvas from the wall, to find something else painted on the wall, which they will never be able to take with them.
