Two young women have recently received news of the death of their husbands, who were brothers. After the departure of the mourners and a painful dinner, they go to sleep.
Independently of each other, they learn late at night through two messengers that their husbands are still alive. However, as this is called into question at the end, it remains unclear to what extent one of the women, or even both, have "only" dreamed their encounters and reality will now be perceived as all the more merciless.
