She cares for her father, Georg, a former philosophy teacher who has been diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease called Benson's syndrome, which affects his cognitive and sight abilities. At a park, Sandra runs into Clément, a friend of her late husband's and a married chemical cosmologist who has returned to Paris after a work expedition at the North Pole. They make plans for dinner. Clément takes Sandra to his lab after she expresses interest in his profession. There, they share a kiss. They subsequently begin an affair. Sandra's mother, Françoise, who has divorced Georg but helps care for him, informs Sandra that his condition is worsening. He can no longer dress himself or use the bathroom, and has frequent hallucinations. She says it is time to put him in a nursing home, where he will receive the full-time care he needs—which Sandra agrees with. They encounter problems in where to place him. Public homes may take up to two years to vacate a room, and the private ones are too expensive. He is placed in a hospital until they can figure out his definitive residence.
