Gabrielle, a dedicated surgeon and head of a hospital department, is stretched thin by the weight of responsibility. There is little time left for her private life: a loving husband and a mother who depends on her care. Yet this is the life she wanted, the life she chose. When a novelist comes to observe her at work for a book, her balance begins to shift.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A nuanced portrait of a high-achieving woman juggling competing demands, thrown subtly off-balance when an outsider's attention forces her to examine what she's sacrificed for the life she thought she wanted. It's intimate and quietly searching, finding both comedy and melancholy in the gaps between intention and reality.
