Raphaël and Margot are a couple who are passionately in love with one

discovers that she has an incurable cancer. It is a blow that neither

she forbids her lover from touching her. With her strength failing
her, Margot continues dancing, increasingly to the point of exhaustion.
As he watches his partner's mental and physical disintegration Raphaël
realises that he cannot face the prospect of losing her...
