"Intimacy"

In the center of the plot is the relationship of a young woman named Claire and a forty-year old bachelor suffering from loneliness, whose name is Jay. Strictly speaking, there were no relations as such, the couple met only for sex, fast convulsive coitus, which did not bring complete satisfaction. Nevertheless, these meetings took place regularly, every Wednesday late in the evening, in the basement of the house in which Jay lived. There was no bed, there was a shabby carpet on the floor, and over it were long-not-washed sheets.

Several months passed. And then one day Claire did not come at the appointed time. Jay reflected, because he does not know anything about this woman: where she lives, what she does, whether there is a family. And when Claire reappeared a week later, Jay decides to follow her.
