After seeing a bunch of films where hustlers are posed as very aggressive people, it's a relief to see one where kindness is much more part of the personality of Theo (Andreas Herder) the main character in the movie. What doesn't mean that the world is kind to him. In fact, his clients are very distasteful people, using him as some dis-chargeable thing, where no connection is possible beyond sex. And that's what he finds in his neighbor, a much suffering lady in her late thirties with a husband no one should deserve. They become friends, and even go to bed together. But some predictable twists are still to happen. All in all, it's a film I would recommend for a day when you're so well with yourself that seeing a sad film won't make you depressive, just feel empathy for a class of workers so badly threaten by life, which deserve respect. After all, they do have their social function.
