A dark, delicate look at perverse desire
Antoine is a quiet accountant who starts temporary work at a health club. While there he meets Dominique, a black masseur, and begins having sessions of massage by him. Gradually, the massages become more painful and arduous, but Antoine likes it more and more this way. The film focuses more on the emotional desire, rather than showing the pain inflicted. Mind games are played in the office where Antoine works, with other staff. It ultimately spins out of control into tragedy, and the ending is tortuous.
