Pierre (Gérard Lanvin), a 60-year-widower, finds himself stuck in a hospital bed with his leg in a cast after an accident and no memory of it. A grump who doesn’t like to be disturbed, Pierre is forced to deal with doctors, interns, bad food, no comfort, intrusive nurses, the policeman in charge of his case (Fred Testot) and his own brother Hervé (Jean-Pierre Darroussin). He’s going to have to redefine his priorities: “Only idiots don’t change their minds.” And so Pierre starts to look at life differently, he softens up and gets a new lease on life.
