Synopsis

Though Jeanne hasn’t seen or spoken to her ex-husband in years, learning of his death brings up memories of their past. Jeanne remembers the happiness of their early days together and how alive they had been, the memories contrasting with the life she is now leading—she is single, out of touch with her daughter, and feeling as though her changing body is somehow inextricably linked to her ex-husband’s passing.
