The Collected Regrets of Clover

Clover brings a bottle of Tasmanian pinot noir to Sylvie’s apartment for dinner, feeling slightly nervous about the occasion. Sylvie greets her with warmth and gratitude, and they share a pleasant conversation. Clover admires Sylvie’s minimalist décor, and they enjoy a Thai meal prepared by Sylvie. As they share wine, Sylvie brings up Sebastian. Sylvie suggests that Clover could explore a friends-with-benefits arrangement with Sebastian once her job of caring for his grandmother ends, but Clover reveals that she has never been in a relationship or had sex. Sylvie is supportive and discusses the complexities of love and dating, encouraging Clover to put herself out there and get out of her comfort zone. Clover expresses her fear of making mistakes in love, and Sylvie assures her that love is worth the risk.

On a rainy day, Clover visits Claudia for the third time. Claudia suggests a photography lesson and reveals her knowledge of her terminal condition, explaining that her family is unaware that she knows. Clover also admits her role as a death doula and offers support, which Claudia appreciates. They decide to continue the photography lessons, and Claudia expresses her desire for Clover to keep visiting, finding her presence captivating.
