A warm, character-driven drama about a beloved rural doctor's transition and the question of whether his young replacement can fill his irreplaceable role in a close-knit community.

All the people in this countryside area, can count on Jean-Pierre, the doctor who auscultates them, heals and reassures them day and night, 7 days a week. Now Jean-Pierre is sick, so he sees Natalie, a young doctor, coming from the hospital to assist him.
