After a serious sport accident in a swimming pool, Ben, now an incomplete quadriplegic, arrives in a rehabilitation center. He meets with other handicapped persons (tetraplegics, paraplegics, traumatized crania), all victims of accidents, as well as a handicapped since his early childhood. They go through impotence, despair and resignation, with their daily struggle to learn how to move a finger or to hold a fork. Some of them slowly find a little mobility while others receive the verdict of the handicap for life. Despite everything, hope and friendship help them endure their difficulties.
Patients is a 2017 French drama-comedy following Ben, a quadriplegic swimmer, as he navigates rehabilitation alongside other people with spinal cord and traumatic injuries. The film explores their daily struggles, emotional journeys, and the bonds of friendship that sustain them through recovery and acceptance.
