Story
Jeanne, a woman with a seemingly insatiable appetite for love, meets Olivier on a subway during an impromptu encounter. She feels a connection unlike any other and finds herself deeply in love. However, Olivier reveals to Jeanne that he has AIDS, which he contracted through heroin use. Despite this revelation, Jeanne's feelings remain unchanged, and she wants to care for him. The two share a common friend who is an AIDS activist but are unaware of it. Olivier becomes severely ill, and Jeanne confesses her love and infidelity to him before they part ways. She returns to the hospital to find that he has left with his parents without leaving a forwarding address. Much time passes, and Jeanne learns from a mutual acquaintance on the subway that Olivier has passed away.
