Justocoeur (1980)

She tells her psychiatrist: "It's easier for a man to love another man. Loving a woman is so complicated". Séléna, a young Caribbean dancer living in Paris, feels excluded from the relationship between her two friends, Paul, and a homosexual, Gabriel. No doubt it is, as the psychiatrist says, for fear of being a woman - Does she love Paul, Gabriel, both? Do they like it? Paul is in London. He is in a way her "producer", and goes in search of capital to put on a show with her, perhaps also to better keep her, better lock her up. She finds herself alone with Gabriel who, less mature, lives a bit like a parasite, taking from others everything they can bring him, but representing for her an escape from the bourgeois universe of Paul. Paul who nevertheless misses him, and whom Gabriel will join before returning with him. Through her confession to the psychoanalyst, she reveals herself to be a child with a deep need to be protected, secure, like during that night spent in the arms of Paul and Gabriel. But Gabriel will not respond to his desire. Back from his trip, Paul talks about his friend like a manipulated puppet, without personality - The real interlocutor, the real life of Séléna, is the dance, in which she will find herself, in which she could not live. .
