Monsieur Bébé (1974)
In this extreme yet devastating testament to the loneliness of human existence, an older domestic woman, heartbreakingly rendered by Gence, is approached in the kitchen after a party by a young, gay man seeking affection. She is later offered money to act as his mother and becomes emotionally involved in a milieu unfamiliar to her.
