In London, Belgian immigrant Carol Ledoux shares an apartment with her older sister Helen, and works
In London, Belgian immigrant Carol Ledoux shares an apartment with her
older sister Helen, and works as a manicurist at a beauty salon. Helen
uses the word "sensitive" to describe Carol's overall demeanor, which is
almost like she walks around in a daze, rarely speaking up about
anything. When she does speak up, it generally is about something
against one of those few issues on which she obsesses, such as Helen's
boyfriend Michael's invasion of her space at the apartment. That
specific issue may be more about men in general than just Michael's
actions, as witnessed by Carol being agitated by hearing Helen and
Michael's lovemaking, and she not being able to rebuff the advances
effectively of a male suitor, Colin, who is infatuated with her. One of
those other obsessive issues is noticing cracks and always wanting to
fix them. While Helen and Michael leave on a vacation to Pisa, Italy,
Carol chooses largely to lock herself in the apartment, ditching work.
There, she is almost hypnotized...
