Storyline

Benjamin is going to become a great doctor, he is sure of it. But his first experience as junior doctor in his father's service, the Professor Barois, does not turn out the way he hoped it would. Benjamin will be brutally confronted with his own limits, his fears, those of his patients, families, doctors and the staff.

User Reviews

I liked it!

I have to say that this film was simpa. Plot is set in a hospital in Paris and shows all the horrors which doctors and patients have to live thru. Acting is very good and main characters show truly how life of a doctor in the hospital in France can be hard and complicated. It also shows well suffering of the patients and what their families have to live thru when mistakes are made by the doctors. If you are a fan of the European cinematography and want to see how life in every day France looks like I recommend that you see this film. Otherwise you will not miss too much by not watching it.
