A man and a woman meet by accident on a Sunday evening at their children’s boarding school. Slowly the widower and widow reveal themselves to each other, with each revelation hidden by a misperception. They become closer and closer, until she reveals that she can’t have a lover because her husband’s memory is still far too strong. Much of the film is told wordlessly in actions or through hearing each person’s thoughts.
