Chapitre 73: Life is a tale of sound and fury till you realize that this is mortal coil and there is an Afterlife

Life is misery, suffering, pain and empty till you realize there is life beyond the grave, mortality.

A story such as 'Amour', which involves the deterioration of a stroke victim and her husband's brave efforts to care for her, become harsh when true-life events are reproduced realistically. Haneke does not entirely keep to grimness and then throws in a twist ending.The stroke victim is Anne, who lives with her husband, Georges, both retired music teachers. When Anne spaces out at the breakfast table one morning, Georges knows something is wrong but Anne doesn't seem to have any memory of the incident. It turns out she has a blocked carotid artery but after undergoing surgery, Anne ends up paralyzed on one side.
