The daily life of Madame Hofmann, head of a palliative care unit in Marseille, unfolds in bustling days between the hospital and home, balancing the heavy emotional burdens of her profession. As usual, Sébastien Lifshitz immerses us with great sensitivity into the lives of extraordinary individuals, in the literal sense of the term. Through the energy of his heroine, whom we follow with tenderness and respect, the filmmaker creates his most beautiful film about life, even as death looms everywhere. He becomes the cinematic spokesperson for those who are sometimes applauded but whose heroism is often forgotten.
