Plot

Claire's life is not exactly in its best moment. She is single and not so good at making friends. Besides, her son is about to leave home with his new girlfriend Lucie. That's why Claire tries to focus on her work as a midwife in a child hospital. The job makes her happy, but she'll soon find out the hospital is going to close its doors and her only chance is to work at a much less human hospital, almost a baby factory. In that moment, Béatrice, her father's former lover, will show up in her life. The woman, all opposite to Claire, announces that she has brain cancer and no one else to turn to. Catherine Frot and Catherine Deneuve star in this drama under the direction of Martin Provost, César winner for 'Séraphine'.
