Reciprocal consolation. The background of two middle-aged people (Michel and Lydia) is gradually unfolded. Michels wife is incurably ill. They had agreed that she would take her life on this day. All telephone cables were cut and Michel should leave France for months. But he goes forth and back between the airport and his home street. Once when opening the door of a taxi he destroys Lydias shopping carrier. They sit down in a café while he writes her a check. During this night they will part and meet again several times. Half a year ago Lydias husband had a car accident. Their daughter died and the husband got brain injury. His talk is incomprehensible. Tonight is his birthday. Lydia eventually takes Michel to the great feast that is almost over. In the morning they go to Michels apartment, where police and relatives are already present. Michel and Lydia had agreed to meet at Lydias apartment on the next morning. When he comes there, a foreign woman invites him in. Lydia soon calls on telephone. Lydia cannot put up with him in his present state. During the entire night she saw him sitting and praying at his wifes bed. But she offers him to live in her apartment for a month, and she will go away. When she returns they may see what will happen. Written by Max Scharnberg, Stockholm, Sweden
