Can you explain life insurance in very simple terms?
Very basically, insurance is a contract (called an insurance policy) between one party (the insurance company) and another (the insured). In the case of life insurance, it is a life that is being insured. In return for the periodic payment of money (called a premium) to the insurance company, the insurance company agrees to pay a sum of money when the insured (whose life is insured) dies. The money is generally paid to the person (or sometimes an entity, such as a charity) that is designated in the insurance policy as the beneficiary. The beneficiary is designated by the insured when the insured buys the insurance but can usually be changed up until the time of death.

Is it true that life insurance can be described as a contact between an insurance company and the insurance policy holder?
That is definitely correct! The terms of that 'contract' and the obligations on each party will be dependent on the country (and possibly the state), however for term life insurance policies generally the life insured is obligated to pay the premiums for the insured sum and if the life insured has met the application obligations in obtaining the policy, the life insurance company is obligated to pay that sum. In Australia, life insurance contacts between the life insurance company and the life insured is regulated by the Insurance Contracts Act 1984. In the UK, I believe the origins of Life Insurance contracts stem from the Life Assurance Act 1774.
