The medical community of the French Riviera, an upscale clinic, a general practitioner who is a friend of the professor directing this clinic. A lost kid who wants the best for his sick mother. The clinic? Of course, there she will be well, she might even recover.
Except there are errors in care and hygiene in this clinic where the surgeon is protected by the medical board and the political world, making him untouchable. Thus, the general practitioner sees his well-organized world crumble.
What to do? That is the big question, as he is friends with the surgeon and also with the victim’s family. His certainties are shaken, he tries to detach himself from his universe, reunites with the son of the deceased woman, who accuses him, and then he delves into a questioning that could endanger his family, his life, and his career.
Michel Grisolia thus takes us into a murky universe where revenge and hatred drive the actors of this closed circle. Philippe Angelin reminisces about his past because there lies the key to all this drama. A woman died due to a medical error, a man will also die. A book without downtime, a depiction of bourgeois society, of the city of Nice, a dive into memory.
