Marie-Lou, the director of a care facility for the elderly, strives to introduce an innovative philosophy of care based on listening and respecting residents' dignity, despite resistance from some members of her staff. Her encounter with Mari, a Japanese theatre director battling cancer, profoundly reshapes her path. By forming a deep, supportive friendship, the two women join forces in a shared struggle to "make the impossible possible."
