Philippe is a well-known writer, whose life was going smoothly: a surgeon wife, a circle of high-ranking friends, a Parisian mansion... And above all, an imminent entry into the Académie Française. Except that Philippe suffers from terrible back pain that plagues his life. When he meets the incredible Martha, who picks him up after a car accident on the roads of Normandy, his vision of the world changes. With her gentle madness and her healing hands, this woman who seems so free is especially concerned with treating others, even if it means forgetting herself. Between these two characters that everything opposes, a surprising friendship is woven, with the opportunity for them to finally seize the best that life can offer them.

François, futur académicien, est un écrivain célèbre. Sa vie serait un bonheur parfait s’il ne souffrait d’un terrible mal de dos qui empoisonne son existence. Lorsque François, par le plus grand des hasards, rencontre l’incroyable Martha aux mains guérisseuses, ses douleurs de dos vont s’atténuer. Il va devenir dépendant des mains de Martha qui l’apaisent davantage que n’importe quel antidouleur.

Tout oppose Philippe et Martha, mais une amitié étonnante leur donne l'occasion de saisir enfin le meilleur de ce que la vie peut offrir.

Филипп – известный писатель, чья жизнь складывалась гладко: жена-хирург, круг высокопоставленных друзей, парижский особняк... И, прежде всего, скорое вступление во Французскую академию. За исключением того, что Филипп страдает от ужасных болей в спине, которые терзают его жизнь.
