All of the inhabitants, in this corner of the countryside, can count on Jean-Pierre, the doctor who cares for them and who reassures them day and night, seven days a week. When Jean-Pierre falls sick, Nathalie, a doctor new to the profession, comes from the hospital to assist him. But will she manage to adapt to this new life and to replace the man who thought he was ... irreplacable? (Cinemax)

A pleasant and unoffensive French flick that takes part in the country with plain and inoffensive people. I liked the movie because it was so plain, but at the same time I have to criticize it a bit because some parts would literally make you fall asleep.

François Cluzet seems to be specializing in roles of dying and sick characters, which is fine because it allows him to showcase his acting abilities, but this almost provincial film with a theme that feels surprisingly clichéd - probably because it seems like this kind of story is constantly being made - doesn't particularly stand out, apart from the good performances.
