Storyline

Gabrielle is 55. She has no children. She heads a surgical department in Paris. She loves her husband. She is growing tired of her lover. Her mother’s Alzheimer’s is worsening. The public hospital system is collapsing. Her dearest friend is faltering. The novelist who came to observe her at work for a book is taking up more and more room in her life. Nothing is straightforward, but Gabrielle isn’t the kind to let it get her down. Gabrielle has decided to be happy.
