Spoilers ahead
Sidse Babett Knudsen stars as Dr. Irène Frachon, a pulmonologist at a university hospital in Brest, in northern France. The film opens in a high-stakes medical setting, where surgeons perform open-heart procedures, immediately signaling the life-and-death rhythm of modern medicine. Frachon begins to notice a troubling pattern: Corinne Zacharria, Isabelle de Hertogh—a patient she treats—shows severely damaged heart valves, a condition appearing across several patients who have taken Mediator, a drug developed by Servier for diabetes and weight loss. The scenes in the hospital ward set a meticulous, patient-centered tone, and Frachon’s sharp clinical eye drives the investigation from the very first diagnosis.
