The text is a transcript of a documentary about Angelique, a woman who suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) that makes her spend 9 hours a day doing housework. She is afraid of dirt and contamination and constantly checks the gas cooker. Her husband David is worried about her and their daughter Lucie, who imitates her mother's behavior. He convinces her to see a psychiatrist, who diagnoses her as a severe case of OCD and advises her to stop her rituals.
