No More Bets

The novel-play "No More Bets" was written by Sartre in 1943 but published only after the war, in 1947.
In a long queue in the office where posthumous fates are decided in the afterlife, two people collide – a beautiful woman poisoned by her husband for inheritance, and a young revolutionary shot by a traitor. They collide, begin to talk to relieve the boredom of waiting, and... manage to love each other so deeply that they unexpectedly get a second chance to return to the world of the living, as an error crept into the "heavenly bureaucracy" – these two, destined for each other, never met in life.
But there is a condition – in just one day, the lovers must find each other on earth, or they will return to the afterlife forever...
