Jean-Baptiste Leonetti
Gérard Monboussin is a man who has taken quite a few knocks all his life.

He sleeps with his patients' wives and illegally performs acts of euthanasia. At the same time he overflows with humanity and compassion. Geneviève Monboussin hasn't had any news from her husband. She is alone and feels at the end of her rope. It is now up to fate to play its part...
