About

A 55-year-old surgeon devoted to her hospital work sees her balance shift when a novelist observes her for a book.

Gabrielle (Léa Drucker) is a 55-year-old surgeon who heads a hospital department. She has no children. Her life is taken up by work and responsibility; at home she has a husband and a mother who needs her care. Gabrielle chose this life, but it leaves little space for anything else. When a novelist comes to the hospital to observe her for a book, the balance in her life starts to change. Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet directs; the cast includes Mélanie Thierry as Frida, Charles Berling as Henri, Laurent Capelluto as Kamyar and Marie-Christine Barrault as Arlette.
