🏆 The Best Actor Award in International Competition went to Michael SHEEN

This is the story of a family driven apart by having to make choices no parent would ever want to make. Andrew and Nicci’s daughter, Marnie, has a life-threatening condition. The doctors believe it is in her best interests to be allowed to die, but her loving family disagrees. And so begins a fight that will take them through every stage of a legal process, as they struggle to contemplate this huge decision. Who decides? And in whose best interests will it be?

Our take

Cette sĂ©rie très touchante traite de sujets clivants au cĹ“ur des dĂ©bats actuels en France : la prise en charge du handicap et les questions Ă©thiques de la fin de vie assistĂ©e. Des questions complexes posĂ©es avec beaucoup d’Ă©coute et d’humanitĂ© via les dilemmes très concrets d’une famille touchĂ©e par la maladie. Écrite par l’immense Jack Thorne (Enola Holmes, The Virtues, Harry Potter et l’enfant maudit, The Eddy, This is England, Skins…) et interprĂ©tĂ©e par Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters, This Way Up, Catastrophe) et Michael Sheen (Good Omens, Prodigal Son, Masters of Sex…).
