Benoit Vanhaverbeke wants to be happy in the second half of his life. To achieve this, he wants to break up with his wealthy wife, Veronique, so he can move in with the new love of his life. But just as he's about to confront her with his plans, she beats him to it: Veronique tells her she's terminally ill and has only three months to live. Instead of leaving, Benoit—cynical as he is—decides to stay until the end.
