Story
A very successful 31-year-old gay photographer Romain learns that he is mortally ill - he has liver and lung cancer, and he has no more than three months to live. He refuses treatment attempts, since the chances of recovery are minimal. Instead, Romain tries to figure out the relationship with others: he expels a lover from his home, visits his parents, his sister. The only person to whom he talks about the disease turns out to be his grandmother Laura, who will also die soon and fully understand his problem. Returning from her grandmother, Romain meets in a roadside cafe with a waitress Yani. A woman asks Romain to sleep with her: her husband is barren, and she wants to have children. After some thought, Romain agrees. He has sex with Jani, but also asks her husband to join them. A woman becomes pregnant; Romain bequeats all the property to his unborn child. In the final picture, Romain comes to the sea to meet death on the beach in the setting sun.
