Краткое содержание
A drama-documentary film about the fatal effect of poor living conditions on health – the so-called "social inheritance."

Covering a hundred-year period and drawing on case stories recorded by actual hospital staff, the film illustrates a number of variations of "the same old story."
Жорж и Анна прожили вместе всю жизнь, рука об руку, постоянно заботясь друг о друге. Сейчас им за восемьдесят. Анна заболевает и ее жизнь начинает постепенно угасать: сначала отключается память, потом отказывается подчиняться тело, наступает паралич. Жорж пытается нанять сиделок, но с горечью понимает, что не может требовать от них душевной теплоты и искренности чувств. Оставив преподавание в консерватории, он всецело посвящает себя заботам о жене. Мужчина не может представить любимую в доме престарелых, о котором настаивает их взрослая дочь, время от времени навещающая родителей. Эти визиты — настоящее испытание для семьи, жизнь которой, казалось бы, протекла в гармонии и любви…
