Patients
After a serious sport accident in a swimming pool, Ben, now an incomplete quadriplegic, arrives in a rehabilitation center. He meets with other handicapped persons (tetraplegics, paraplegics, traumatized crania), all victims of accidents, as well as a handicapped since his early childhood. They go through impotence, despair and resignation, with their daily struggle to learn how to move a finger or to hold a fork. Some of them slowly find a little mobility while others receive the verdict of the handicap for life. Despite everything, hope and friendship help them endure their difficulties.
This film offers a deeply empathetic, bittersweet journey through the quiet struggles and profound camaraderie within a rehabilitation center. It's a testament to the human spirit, blending moments of despair with unexpected humor and the enduring power of friendship. The tone is grounded, hopeful, and ultimately inspiring.
