"When you die, how long do you sleep?" is a film on words used to relieve. Words which make you feel better, from simple attention to analytical listening, including, why not, laughter. The venue is a wing of a teach hospital. The cast are women in white and children suffering from leukaemia. Stuck in the middle, either lost or reassured, are the parents. Only one thing is important: listening to children and adults. An asserted stance: for life, in spite of everything.
