Synopsis
Heal the Living (Réparer les vivants, 2016) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Katell Quillévéré. It traces a single day, a single heart, and the strangers a tragedy quietly ties together.
At dawn, three teenagers drive to the coast to surf and crash on the way home. Simon is left brain-dead on life support, and his parents must decide whether to donate his heart. Running alongside is the story of a woman who will die without that transplant. Tahar Rahim, Emmanuelle Seigner and Anne Dorval lead the cast.
Adapted from Maylis de Kerangal's novel, the film never milks the grief. It watches the doctors, the paperwork, the goodbyes and the surgery with an almost documentary calm. A quiet, grown-up piece about one life ending so another can carry on. Stream Heal the Living online on iFILM.
