Synopsis
Des adieux is an immersion into a hospice, the Maison Michel-Sarrazin, in Quebec. A place that exists thanks to the generosity and the listening of volunteers and nursing staff. A place where people die with dignity. Shot over a three-week period, which is the average length of stay for patients, Des adieux shows the final beautiful and painful moments of those who are about to die. It shows gestures, words and little things of those who pass away and of those who say goodbye to them.
The filmmaker will be there to talk after the movie.
Additional screening: 28/03 – 2.00 pm – Cinema Aventure (Room 2)
