Film Synopsis

When she arrives in Carhaix, a town in the centre of Brittany, Catherine has a huge weight on her mind.  The new human resources manager for an ailing hospital, she must instigate a major restructuring programme which she knows will not be popular.  After an awkward start, relations between her and the hospital staff thaw and she is soon on friendly terms with midwife Mathilde and paediatric nurse Firmine.  In their spare time, the three women go bowling together and start socialising with the woman who runs the bowling club, Louise.  Catherine will have her work cut out when it is decided that she must axe the hospital's loss-making maternity unit...
