About film
The film is a heartfelt and intimate glimpse into the stories – rich and full of life – of the St. Louis French Hospital, a Hospice for terminally ill patients on the border between East and West Jerusalem, across the Old City walls. For two years, the film's director was recording interviews with patients and caregivers, each of whom has their own special story.
