The protagonist is an auditor who is lured by lust into a well-designed scam. In fact, the real temptation is a phantom of the so-called lifestyle.

So when he met true love in a sex game, he suddenly felt that the pleasure of acting had disappeared. Unfortunately, his "true love" is only part of the whole big scam.
Many night scenes of New York in the film are blurred. Most of the scenes are in various hotel rooms, which are decorated with low-key pretense, as if emphasizing unreality. This unreality is maximized in the small hotel room in Chinatown where the hero and heroine tryst. The last scene was staged in Madrid again, and the audience followed the protagonist and always shuttled in time and space. This may be why it is translated as "traveler".
