A Crab in the Head

Alex, a young photographer, is in a state of continual seduction. He has to please everyone without ever having any ideas of his own, any passion of his own, or, above all, any conflict. His existence is impressively empty, always dependent on the imperative to please. Held up in Montreal, he has an affair with a journalist, Marie, then with his best friend's partner. She, Sara, is deaf. Her handicap brings out Alex's, which is less apparent.
