Synopsis
Writer Hervé Guibert, an AIDS terminal patient, films his daily routines during the last months of his life. Having provoked a huge public debate after it was broadcasted by the French television channel that co-produced it, this intimate filmed journal shows the progressive decay of a “medicalized” body that the director recognizes less and less as his own.
