Contents/Summary

Summary
An intimate glimpse into the rich human mosaic of the St. Louis French Hospital, a hospice for terminally ill patients, situated on the tense border between East and West Jerusalem, across from the walls of the Old City. For two years the director accompanied patients and caregivers who shared their intimate stories. The film sensitively captures the moments of humor, tenderness, and sadness for those who live and those who depart on their last journey from the hospital.
