What do you do if it seems like everything is lost and the misfortunes that have fallen on you can’t be survived? Violette Toussaint decides to do what, in her previous life, would have seemed absurd: she agrees to work as a caretaker of a cemetery. Little by little, she gets to know the regular visitors to this unusual place, who don’t mind coming by to warm up on a cold day, have a cup of coffee, and chat about everything and nothing. Here, no one pretends—everything is like in real life: laughter and tears are always close, and existence feels fleeting. Strangely enough, in this joyless place, Violette understands: love for life and people saves you from everything, including sadness and fear. And it’s here that you realize: everything passes quickly, and you shouldn’t give up on the most unusual, bold—even crazy—actions.
