“This is the story about a Parisian suffering from an illness who wonders whether he is going to die. His condition makes him look at things and the people he encounters in a whole new way. The fact of envisaging death suddenly gives value to his life, the lives of others, along with the life of the whole city. Truck farmers, a baker, a social worker, a dancer, an architect, a homeless person, a professor, a model, and an illegal Cameroonian immigrant, despite having next to nothing in common, all find themselves united in this city and this film. You may think there is nothing special about them, but for each of them, their lives are unique. You may think that their problems are insignificant, but, for them, there could be nothing more important in the world.” ~ Cédric Klapisch
