Plot – In an apartment for rent, Paul meets Jeanne and imposes her a series of violent sexual relations. Even though they decided not to tell anything about them, the two trace thorough portraits of rotten personalities. Paul is an American 43-year-old man, son of drunkards and fresh from failed experiences, such as the relationship with Rosa, who killed herself. Jeanne is torn about the attraction and the repugnance she feels for the mature lover, while she is about to marry Tom, a charming director. However, Jeanne doesn’t resist to Paul’s disgusting demands, who meanwhile makes dirty speeches about women, love and family.
