Plot summary
Muriel has been confined to her bed since a serious accident. Léo is a middle-aged man who once boxed and now drinks, and he has no experience of the kind of work he is applying for. Desperate for work, he interviews for the post of cooking her meals and taking care of her. Muriel hires him anyway, though she has her doubts. The tasks are beyond him at first, yet he earns her confidence over time. She teaches him to read with the writing of Charles Bukowski, and he urges her to think about the pleasures waiting outside her room.
