Soft Shell Man

"Soft Shell Man" ("Un crabe dans la tête" in French) is a Québécois film, directed by André Turpin released in 2001.

Synopsis

Taken to extremes, what are the consequences of always doing what you want? Alex, a young photographer, is continually seduced. He pleases everyone, without every having any of his own ideas, passions, or conflicts. His existence is completely empty, dependent on the need to please others. While in Montréal, he has an adventure with a journalist, Marie, who is in the company of his best friend. This friend, Sara, is deaf-mute. Alex's disability is less obvious.
