Tim hates the villa. He knows it's part of the role they play, his friends and he. Despising Vanessa's rich parents, their Persian rugs, gold-framed portraits and elaborate breakfast tables is all part of the rebellion game.

It's more than that, though. These walls transform people. Next to his snooty fiancée, even Julian looks like a stranger: a handsome Ken doll with empty eyes, not his dorky guileless brother. It terrifies Tim more than he could ever admit, and so he smashes dishes and defiles walls until Julian yells at him, looking disappointed. Disappointment is okay. It's better than indifference.
