In the heart of Morvan, Nico, the last vet in the area, struggles to save his patients, his clinic, and his family. When Michel, his partner and mentor, announces his retirement, Nico knows that the hard part is yet to come. "Don't worry, I've found the next generation" Except that ... The next generation is Alexandra, a 24-hour graduate, brilliant, misanthropic, and not at all willing to return to bury herself in the village of her childhood. Will Nico manage to make her stay?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film taps into real French anxieties about 'désert médical' — rural areas losing essential services as young professionals flee to cities.
Clovis Cornillac spent weeks training with actual Morvan veterinarians; one emergency calf birth scene used a real farmer's animal.
