About

Marie-Lou Fontaine, director of a nursing home in the Paris suburbs, defies convention by adopting the 'Humanitude' method despite her team’s resistance. Her encounter with Mari Morisaki, a terminally ill Japanese playwright, transforms her life. Together, they turn the facility into a symbol of resistance and humanity against the system’s limits.

A suburban nursing home director risks everything to implement a radical new philosophy of care against the wishes of her stubborn staff. This quiet rebellion turns into a profound connection when a terminally ill Japanese playwright arrives to challenge her worldview.
