Pascal Rémy

Henry can't control himself : he's got to cheat, con, plot. It's not his fault, it's his nature ! Underhand deals, compromise, lies, and betrayals are the daily lot of this guitarist for provincial village dances. And he has no qualms about anything : getting his depressed sister committed, ripping off his mother who's grief-stricken after the death of her companion, compromising himself with an extreme right-wing party.

A man jumps off a train and soon after arrives in a sort of dressing room where a mannered individual is copiously putting on make-up. Between the man and this stranger a dialogue is established, the first one telling a story that happened to him with a woman... or rather his quest for a woman, his hesitations, his feelings of hope, joy and anguish. In return, he will only get laconic and disillusioned, ironic, even aggressive answers until he is properly and simply chased away.
