Fran├зois Cluzet is Jean-Pierre, a much-loved doctor in a rural French town. He reassures and cares for his patients day and night, seven days a week. When he becomes sick himself, he keeps this a secret, but soon realises that he needs to find someone to take over his practice. A younger city doctor, Nathalie (Marianne Denicourt), is introduced as the new medic - will she adapt to this new life and take over from the man who thought he was irreplaceable? A huge success in France, this film from Thomas Lilti was warmly embraced by audiences for its generosity of spirit and gentle humour. With exceptional performances from Fran├зois Cluzet and Marianne Denicourt, The Country Doctor is a touching celebration of life. 2016 31 Juin Films, Les Films Du Parc, Cinefrance Plus, Le Pacet, France 2 Cin├йma.
