Un’intima occhiata all’interno del ricco mosaico umano dell’ospedale francese St. Louis, uno ospizio per malati terminali, situato sul confine di tensione tra la Gerusalemme dell’Est e quella dell’Ovest, davanti alle mura della Città Antica. Per due anni il regista ha seguito pazienti e assistenti sanitari – ognuno con la propria storia. Nel film si alternano, tra le mura dell’ospedale, momenti di umorismo e tristezza della vita.
