Surgery on a blocked artery leaves Anne partially paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. She makes Georges promise not to send her back to the hospital or put her in a nursing home.

One morning, as Anne's condition deteriorates, Georges tells her a story of his childhood, and then grabs a pillow and smothers Anne. He cleans and dresses her and leaves her body on the bed, taping up the door to the room.

In a surreal ending scene, Georges, who has starved himself to near-death, sees Anne again, and she tells him to follow her out of the apartment, apparently joining her in death.
