“Diary of a French Doctor”
Drama
Benjamin is meant to be a great doctor, he’s certain of it. But his first experience as a junior doctor in the hospital ward where his father works doesn’t turn out the way he hoped it would. Responsibility is overwhelming, his father is all but present, and his co-junior partner, a foreign doctor, is far more experimented than he is. This internship will force Benjamin to confront his limits… and start his way to adulthood.
VIBE
A raw, yet warm, look at the chaotic reality of a first hospital internship. It’s a frantic, earnest dive into the overwhelming pressures of medicine, cultural clashes, and the messy path to adulthood, all with a touch of French dramedy.
