Synopsis

Thomas is doubtful of everything: his relationship with his wife; his profession as a neurosurgeon, over which he obsesses to the point of questioning spirituality in all its forms. Marie, jazz singer on tour in London. Devastated by the news that she must undergo brain surgery that may leave her with aphasia, she is desperately in search of comfort.
