A close-up documentary about a beautiful married esthetician who takes control during the treatment simply by ``shortening the distance.''At first, his hands were calm, but the way he used his fingertips and the way he paused gradually changed, eliciting a reaction from the listener.Interactions proceed without the use of words, choices pile up in a situation with no escape - before you know it, the positions have been reversed.The process of changing into something that cannot be explained by ``an extension of the treatment,'' and the reaction of being dragged into it without being able to resist, are vivid.A 244-minute film that depicts a relationship quietly crumbling.
