The film begins at an auction held in the Paris Opera House, which is currently closed, where various props are being sold to raise funds. A notable item for sale is a stuffed monkey dressed in Persian robes, playing the cymbals while perched on a music box, which an older man in a wheelchair purchases, holding it close to him.
