In the context of the global health crisis we tried to understand how the French public hospital system operated and above all how it held up when it was already in crisis We filmed in immersion for several weeks day and night in the largest hospital in Europe the PitiéSalpêtrière in the medical intensive care unit located in the Eole building Who are beyond their function these men and women who make up the nursing and nonhealthcare staff doctors nurses nurses assistants health managers interns administrative and technical staff This film gives a voice to the invisible people in the hospital it shows the daily fight against illness and death but it also tells of the joys the internal debates on the complex and daily issue of aggressive treatment It is the story of a human adventure at the heart of this microsociety that is the hospital
