A boy is playing with strollers and ambulances on a carpet made up of interlocking hexagons, a ball comes to him, he looks at the camera, his sweater is visible, he has a hand-knitted picture of a rocket, Apollo 11, he gets up from the hexagon and starts walking, moving towards the unknown, but the viewer knows he shouldnt, and he cant do anything. He arrives at the start of a room, it is 237. The sequence closes.

Another child comes to his room, goes to the stereo, takes out a tape, puts on another, its Beethoven, you can see his bed, its a very small room in which a huge mirror allows you to see practically the entire room, the bedspread is made up of hexagons in the same colors as those that make up the carpet on which the child was playing. The child, the latter much larger than the former, throws himself on the bed, on the carpet. The tape he has released, (we have to watch the sequence several times to be sure) is a work of a fictional band Goggly Gogol, a group that will later appear as the number 1 seller in the store Alex goes to. In the decoration of Alexs room there are some strange white squares removed from the wall. They are the same squares that illuminate the room where the astronaut of 2001 dies and is reborn, this floor which is, in turn, the roof of the spaceship that carries one of the protagonists of the film to the monolith.
