Bertrand and Lorraine are those who remain.

Those who pace up and down the corridors, asking forbidden questions, who get noticed at the newspaper stand, who talk too loudly in the cafeteria and who smoke surreptitiously on the roof of the hospital where their spouses are being treated.

To help each other bear the guilt they feel from being alive, Bertrand and Lorraine have decided to help each other live, laugh and keep on loving.
