The worst thing is not death, not disappearing forever - but to remain in the world of the living, surrounded by family and friends. Eric learns that he has leukemia, and abruptly, with no warning, his life is turned upside down. His work, his commitments, all must be put aside, even forgotten. With his memory disintegrating, he begins to resemble a zombie. By his side, Leïla starts down a long path where little by little she rediscovers, together with Eric, the vital sensations of desire and social commitment.
