A role showers is a German short film by Detlev Buck from 1987. The film was made as part of a seminar paper at the dffb .
action
The short film reports in five minutes about the experience of a man who goes to a public shower in swimming trunks . A sign indicates that showering is only allowed in the nude, but just as he is about to begin, a young female cleaner begins to mop the floor of the shower room. At first he is embarrassed. He undresses anyway and does what he came to do.
When his shower gel falls on the floor, it slips close to the young lady. It prevents him from picking it up again. Instead, she undresses too and within seconds they both glow in a fiery love game - a daydream , as it turns out. Because when the man opens his eyes again, the clothed lady hands him his shower gel and continues her work unaffected.
