Synopsis

Delphine, a young girl suffering from a serious illness, has to deal with the pain and the issue of the disease. His parents try to survive in a highly technical environment where communication is very paradoxical. Doctors and nurses try to manage their emotions, torn between the omnipotence of medical science and their conception of ethics. Everyone confronts in his own way the only certainty of our time : death.
