Los adioses 2015

1h 3min Director: Carole Laganière

Documentary that chronicles daily life at Maison Michel Sarrazin, a palliative care home in Quebec where different patients spend their final days. Men and women facing death try to reclaim the dignity that illness has taken from them. The camera accompanies those intimate, everyday moments where life and death brush against each other: a caress, a conversation, a shared silence between those who care and those who say goodbye.
