Details

Heal the Living is a captivating and emotionally charged drama that explores the profound impact of a tragic accident on multiple lives. The story begins with three surfers embarking on a journey to conquer the waves but a devastating accident leaves one of them, nineteen-year-old Simon Limbres, in a comatose state. Hospital doctors determine that Simon's brain is deceased, yet his body remains alive through artificial means.

As Simon's devastated parents grapple with their gut-wrenching reality, they are faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to donate their son's organs. This dilemma propels the narrative forward, exposing the complexity of personal choices and the potentially transformative effects of organ transplantation.

Heal the Living delves into the emotional journey of individuals affected by this life-altering accident. Through profound storytelling, the film explores themes of grief, resilience, and hope, as Simon's family confronts their pain and navigates through the challenging process of letting go.

With a talented ensemble cast, including Tahar Rahim, Emmanuelle Seigner, and Anne Dorval, the film is a poignant exploration of the human condition. Director Katell Quillévéré masterfully captures the raw emotions that arise from tragedy, painting a beautifully nuanced portrait of love, loss, and the healing power of human connection.

Heal the Living is a thought-provoking and deeply moving film that will leave audiences reflecting on the complexities of life and the choices we make in the face of adversity.
