The former lovers do their best to hide their true feelings. They lie, obfuscate and procrastinate... Then, a year to the day after that night, another visitor. This time, it's Hugo knocking on Alice's door... "Ce qui reste d’un amour" ("What remains of love") is a play about the power, the mystery, and the contradictions of love.
