The Man with the Towel

Jacques Lombardi is a fifty-year-old man who takes care of Arlette, his mother, a possessive and bedridden woman. Their dull and repetitive daily life is punctuated by a particular ritual: every evening after her shower, Arlette dries Jacques’ long hair. One day, he discovers a black towel at the bottom of his well. From then on, he is obsessed with one idea: drying his hair alone.
