Hervé (François Cluzet), patron d'une agence de presse, souffre de sa dépendance envers l'alcool, qui affecte sa vie familiale et professionnelle. Pour s'en sortir, il accepte d'entrer dans une clinique isolée spécialisée dans la désintoxication. La cure s'avère très difficile pour Hervé. Là il noue une amitié avec Magali, une très jeune patiente de la clinique. Avec une attitude quasi paternaliste pour elle, il tente de l'aider à se sauver, mais se confronte ainsi à ses propres démons. Tandis que Magali s'enfonce dans ses conduites d'auto-destruction, Hervé guérit progressivement de sa dépendance.Actors

Junon Vuillard is Abel Vuillard's wife, and the iron-willed matriarch of the Vuillard family. Junon held her family together through many tough times, and although her willpower helped the family survive and prosper, it also has left many bad feelings among her children. Junon is still a handsome woman, and though her husband (who owns a small fabric dying plant) has become obese and clearly aged, he retains a remarkable clarity, acceptance, tolerance, and unconditional love for his family, and it is clear that he and their love for each other is the lynchpin that holds an otherwise fragmented family together, albeit uneasily.

The first third of the film is told from the main character's, Jean-Dominique Bauby (Mathieu Amalric), or Jean-Do as his friends call him, first person perspective. The film opens as Bauby wakes from his three-week coma in a hospital in Berck-sur-Mer, France. After an initial rather over-optimistic analysis from one doctor, a neurologist explains that he has locked-in syndrome, an extremely rare condition in which the patient is almost completely physically paralyzed, but remains mentally normal. At first, the viewer primarily hears Bauby's "thoughts" (he thinks he is speaking but no one hears him), which are inaccessible to the other characters (who are seen through his one functioning eye).
