A night doctor, whom the darkness threatens to engulf. Embroiled in a prescription trafficking scheme, torn between two loves, he only has a few hours left to get his life back on track. Vincent Macaigne enjoys one of his most beautiful roles in this tense, Scorsese-like, humane film.

A man finds himself between two states and drifts in a chaotic life. One night, he decides to pull himself together by making absolute choices. A trip into the life of a night doctor in Paris as it has rarely been shot. Fascinated by film genre, Élie Wajeman delivers a dark and uniquely atmospheric thriller carried by overwhelming actors. The soundtrack is the work of Evgueni and Sacha Galperine brothers.
