In a work of startling force and candor, one woman tells of her obsessive love for an older woman. The latter, undecided, vacillates between an acknowledgement of this love and her attachment to other men. Written in the style of an interior monologue told from the individual perspectives of the two women, Les Indécises explores the violent response of a heart continually forced to suppress its deepest desires.
“I’d like to be a man, says the other woman. In order to have the opportunity, the unique opportunity, to be loved by you, I’d like to be a man. Today, tomorrow, always between your sheets. Entering you with my hard member. Withdrawing, driving in again, possessing you, persuading you, crushing you, and grabbing your hair, pressing against your body. Taking you, again and again, exhausting every part of your body... I’d like to be a man and tie you for all of eternity to my shadow. So that it would be you who would be the one reduced to begging and pleading to be mine.”
