What Catherine Corsini's cinema is doing more and more, each time more than a-propos and universality.But could it be otherwise by choosing here as an almost unique scene, this place-world that is a hospital?The emergency department of a Parisian public establishment, to be precise, while the movement of yellow vests is in full swing, the police are making the seat of the building and that medical staff are structurally exhausted.A place of convergence for the unlikely meeting between a strong road with a crushed mouth at La Manif, a capricious bourgeois injured in the street, loose patients and all the evils of the world…
