Madeleine Péloquin

Nicolas, a famous doctor and scientist, has an incurable disease and knows he is going to die. He is ageing, suffering from insomnia, caught in a bad marriage to a younger woman, and father to a teenage daughter he doesn’t understand. The only thing connecting him to life is the affection of his adopted daughter, Katia. In her thirties, she has abandoned her career as an actress and is struggling with deep depression against which he feels powerless.
