#Bales2025FilmChallenge of December 1: conquering fear

Noir et blanc (Claire Devers, 1986)
An uptight white accountant in odds with himself, sees a Black masseur at a Turkish bathhouse. Antoine experiences a relieve – an atonement – through the pain, and forms a bond with the man. After an injury, Antoine must learn to come to terms with his fears. Based on #TennesseeWilliams' Desire and the Black Masseur (1948).
