His life offers him nothing worth retaining; what he treasures are scenes from \u003ci\u003eThe Third Man\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eStagecoach\u003c\/i\u003e, not the personal experiences he knows other people hold dear. On the cusp of turning thirty, however, something changes: At Mardi Gras, he embarks on a quest for some form of authentic experience.
