His dreams of fame and success grow dim and he is losing his ever-tenuous grip on reality. He ends up homeless and takes shelter in a broken-down squat with other destitute people. It's in that squat that he finds something better than fame; he finds a place where he belongs in a community of like-minded art-loving misfits.
