Heal the Living

Heal the Living assembles an array of sensitive performances, but it takes place on a more metaphysical plane. Its characters often seem to have stepped outside the normal flow of time.

[Heal the Living] explores the ever-vulnerable body, the social institution of medicine and how individuals stand in relation to each.

Visually extraordinary when it needs to be, and with a laser-sharp focus on its characters' quirks, ethical dilemmas and emotional complications, this French film tells the story of a heart transplant.

The story is everything it's meant to be, a mixture of hope and sadness with no surprises to deter from a story worth telling.
