In French rural life the village doctor is an important figure, both medically and socially. When doctor Jean-Pierre is diagnosed with a life-threatening tumour, he grudgingly accepts the advice of his own doctor, and agrees to have an assistant to lighten his workload. Unfortunately when she arrives he discovers that she is relatively young, with an urban background - and perhaps worst of all - a woman. Will she manage to face the many challenges of her new role? One critic has called the film ‘a fine example of classic French romantic drama’, and it provides an enjoyable start to our new season.
