Long years of marriage haven't embittered or worn out Mathilde, and when her husband dies, he leaves a gap that to her own surprise can be filled. At the opera, she meets Carlo, a gentleman of her age, who gallantly offers to drive her home; he stays the night. A one-night stand that leaves Mathilde glowing, hopeful... In love. After so many years... Too good to be true? Carlo deliberately gave her a wrong phone number. She tries to compensate by going out. On a biking tour, she meets Hannes, a charming man who soon falls in love with her. He's kind and easy-going, and reminds her of her late husband; for now, it's reason enough to settle in with him. But when she finds Carlo again, their passion flares up anew, and Mathilde begins leading a double life, juggling lovers like the heroine of a French bedroom farce. But this is no farce: the moment comes for her to tell Hannes that she does not love him, will not marry him. Yet she also cannot, will not, marry Carlo, whose wife of 26 years is slowly dying. A dilemma that not even Hannes's sudden fatal heart attack can solve...
