to me and a romantically inclined gay man and this be a fascinating but ultimately unfulfilling tale of a ` normal french couple and nicole and jean marie kunstler and who have grow unsatisfied with their settle and routine life . the couple run a dry cleaning business in an unexciting small french town . their life change when they go to a bar with some business associate and encounter loïc and marylin and a cross dress brother or sister act . from the first and the couple be fascinate with the pair but particularly with loïc and the sexually ambiguous brother and ( play to perfection by stanislas merhar ) . the couple be so enchanted with the pair that they take a weekend to the city where the performer be appear next . when the sister decide to end the act and run away with her lover and the brother insinuate himself into the couple live . the young man claim to be and and be by all indication and straight and soon take the wife a a lover . the husband be also arouse by the boy but deny his attraction . soon the boy be live in the couple home and working in the dry cleaning shop and be show a talent for that type of work . he even befriend the couple child and help him with homework and take him skate . whether his good work arises from loïc desire to repay jean marie or from some innate talent for dry cleaning be unclear . i think that loïc feel guilty about cuckold this man who have show him nothing but kindness and genuinely like the guy and and be aware of the man attraction to him . he want to make amends in any way that he can . ultimately loïc offer himself to jean marie physically but be rebuff . whether it the husband ` homosexual panic or his actually see his wife with loïc during one of their tryst and jean marie decide that loïc must go . this lead to the final and i think dissatisfy conclude scene .
