Synopsis

Dimitri is barely fifty when he discovers he has an incurable illness. Leaving his home in Marseilles, he moves into a hospice where he will live out his last few weeks in the company of other terminally ill men and women. The people he encounters make up a rich tapestry of humanity – all age groups, all races, all walks of life are represented. His attention is drawn to a young volunteer helper, Suzanne, who is still lamenting the premature death of her husband. Dimitri himself feels abandoned, having lost contact with his wife and young son. The two form an instant bond and they seem to be made for one another. But time is so short...
