Mute

Monette enters a church to confess. Soon one question bursts out of him: Is it possible that god sent someone to kill his wife? The priest is shocked, so Monette explains his theory: A few weeks ago he was on the road, when he picked up a hitchhiker who apparently was deaf and mute, so Monette decides to vent his personal problems to the not listening man. He tells him that his wife confessed to him that she's cheating on him with another man. Not only do they have an awful lot of sex but they also started spending crazy amounts of money on booze and lottery tickets. They moved out to Rendezvous Motel and after a while their debt piled up to more than 120.000 dollars. Monette stops his story to take a loo at the side of the road, but when he returns he finds the hitchhiker vanished mysteriously. Two days later the police called him to Rendezvous Motel to identify his wife's dead body. Monette asks the priest again if he thinks god may have sent someone to kill his wife, but is left without an answer. In the very end we see the hitchhiker again on the side of the road, getting into another car.
