Adapted from the book of the same name by physician Claude Grange and writer and philosopher Régis Debray, Costa-Gavras’s latest film is about our times and our society. Through a series of discussions and encounters, the writer faces up to his fears and anxieties guided by the doctor. How do we care for those who are dying? These profound exchanges take place in a palliative care unit, at the heart of life, with powerful, sad and joyful emotions.
