Wrestling Match

There's quite a twist towards the end of this pretty intense drama. One man is sitting on a bare mattress in a darkened apartment whilst someone is taking a shower. He resents the limited amount of time they have together; he even turns back the hands on the other's watch. Then another man emerges from the shower and that only seems to increase the tensions. Which of them wants this relationship more? Which of them wants it at all? Then there's an even more unexpected twist that changes yet explains much of their frustrated dynamic. What's their preferred way to work out all this angst? They wrestle! It wasn't wasted on me that as they carry out their clandestine affair, a nun is hanging out her washing on an adjacent roof. What might she think if she knew what was going on behind their closed shutters? It's a snapshot of two lives, filmed quite intensely, and though it does border on the theatrical at times, it's worth a look.
