Three naked young men are kissed and caressed in a tent by a poet from the king’s court. As shown by on-set photos, different actors play the group when filmed from the waist up (local Eritrean actors where nudity was forbidden) and from the waist down (filmed in Rome). When filmed from the waist down, the centre youth is played by Fessazion Gherentiel.

Two 15 year olds, Berhane (Fessazion Gherentiel) and Giana (Giana Idris) [but real age of actors is unknown], are chosen by a king and queen to test which sex is the most beautiful. They are drugged and put to sleep, naked, in the same room. First the boy wakens, walks over to the girl, pulls off her covers, makes himself hard [not shown] then climbs onto her and has sex with her. When he finishes he returns to his bed and falls back to sleep. Then the girl awakens. She walks over to the boy, pulls his covers off and makes him hard before climbing on top of him and having sex with him as he sleeps. She then returns to bed. The king and queen call it a draw.

The king and his child bride return to the palace after being married. The king strips naked and reveals himself to be a woman to his bride. (The bride is played by a 13-year-old boy, although that aspect is not referred to on screen.)
