Roland, encourages Antoine to use the facilities, including the massages, so Antoine goes to Dominique, a muscular African.

When Dominique breaks Antoine's arm and then goes to the hospital to take Antoine away, Antoine confesses his fascination with and fear of death. With Dominique's help, the accountant breaks all earthly ties to confront his fear.
