The film is set in the psychiatric emergency unit of the Hôtel-Dieu hospital in Paris. Patients arrive in states of psychological distress and are received by psychiatrists who assess their condition. Each patient expresses suffering, confusion, fear, or incoherence, while the medical staff attempts to understand, calm the situation, and determine an appropriate course of action. The camera observes these encounters without commentary, focusing on speech, silence, and tension. Patients follow one another, some leaving, others being hospitalized, with no definitive resolution. The film thus constructs a continuous account of a place where mental crisis and human vulnerability are exposed through urgent clinical listening.
