We follow them over the course of an afternoon, while they wait for their meeting with the cemetery's caretaker - who never turns up. During the course of the afternoon, both Edith and Lucas drop their masks, and secrets are revealed. Lucas has remarried, his new wife is pregnant and he is writing a book about the loss of his son. Edith has never been able to move on despite doing her best to pretend to. It slowly becomes clear that their whole meeting is based on one big lie. Edith fabricated the event to lure Lucas into meeting her after all these years, without knowing what it is exactly that she is looking for.
