Using a good metaphor in the title and the story, this typically French social drama depicts France of the late 2010's and early 20's, the yellow jackets crisis and hospital structural, financial problems, the difficulties that doctors and nurses have to face to do their job properly. Social fracture illustrated thru a broken leg and elbow, excellent metaphor. The main problem here is the comedy line, too devastating to permit any tension or even emotion. But acting is flawless, especially concerning Marina Fois and Valeria Bruni; the Yellow Jacket character is however a bit overplayed, too much to be realistic. I could not resume this movie till the end, precisely because of those comedy lines.
