He succeeds in making Poppea the new empress, but soon he faces opposition from an outraged populace.

A man approaches in a car from the garage of a house, gets out of the car, and stops in front of the house. As if he were a fool, he tries to open the garage, but fails because he does not have the keys. This provokes some laughter from the audience, given the man's awkward and confused attitude. Suddenly, the screen experiences technical difficulties and the entire scene disappears into complete darkness, until signs protesting against cuts to culture appear.
