Julia is a terminally-ill architect whose ultimate wish is to die in her home.

Julia is a terminally-ill architect ;her milieu is wealthy but nobody around her seems to understand that she wants to die in her flat.Her brother ,a doctor ,has found a very nice place in the country;her daughter is a spoiled child ,par excellence the rich kid,who seems more interested in her next dress than the close passing of her mom;her parents are the only ones whose faces reflect love and compassion. Marine has just been fired from the hospital where she used to work as a nurse's aid.Julia hires her as a home help,for 1000 Euros a week...which is not much when you've got to take care of a dying person all day long and all night long;Marine is often grumpy ,but she has to cope with the brother/doctor's contempt(and jealousy) .—dbdumonteil
