The administrator says she wants him to be happy, but that seems far from his mind: he's waiting to die. Then, into his room, unannounced, rolls the voluble Victor Laprade, who draws out Philippe over the next few months. Victor gives Philippe the gift of experiencing the moment.

The openly-gay Victor also pushes Philippe to acknowledge feelings he's always kept suppressed.
