Wilbur survives yet another suicide attempt and goes to hospital, where he meets Horst, a cynical psychologist and empathic head nurse, Moira. Like Harbour, they believe that Wilbur needs a girlfriend, but even though women fall for Wilbur all the time, they cannot get close to him. In fact, it is Harbour who falls in love with a shy and beautiful single mother, Alice. Soon Alice and her younger daughter move into the bookshop and little by little the four of them become inseparable. Wilbur starts regaining his lust for life and Alice starts to come out of her shell. Harbour has never been happier but he carries a deep secret that threatens to surface.		2002 sound col
