A grounded drama about a firefighter's struggle to accept vulnerability and dependence after a life-altering injury forces him to become the one being rescued.

Franck is a firefighter in Paris. He saves people. He lives at the station with his wife, who is about to have twins. He’s happy. During a call out to a fire, he puts himself in danger, to save his men. He’s going to have to learn to live again and accept to be the one being saved, this time.
