Synopsis
Romain est un jeune adolescent atteint depuis sa naissance de Xeroderma pigmentosum, une maladie génétique extrêmement rare qui le contraint notamment à rester à l'abri de la lumière du jour en raison des rayons ultraviolets qui provoquent des dommages à l'ADN que ses cellules ne peuvent naturellement réparer, entrainant irrémédiablement des cancers cutanés multiples. Il est suivi par le dermatologue David Assoland avec lequel il a noué au cours des années une relation d'autant plus filiale qu'il vit seul avec sa mère. David cependant, après une longue carrière au CHU de Bayonne obtient enfin un poste convoité depuis de nombreuses années à l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à Genève. Très attaché à cet enfant, bien que relativement distant de sa propre famille, il ne sait ni ne réussit à lui dire qu'il va devoir partir. Son successeur à la tête du service est une femme, Carlotta Granié, avec laquelle il entretient des rapports conflictuels, ne réussissant pas à passer la main.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.

In the small town of Endora, Iowa, Gilbert Grape (Johnny Depp) is busy caring for Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio), his brother with a developmental disability, as they wait for the many tourists' trailers to pass through town during their "yearly ritual" of camping at a nearby recreational area. His mother, Bonnie (Darlene Cates), gave up on life after her husband hanged himself seventeen years earlier. She spends almost all of her time on the couch watching TV. With Bonnie unable to care for her children on her own due to her morbid obesity, Gilbert has taken responsibility for repairing the old house and looking after Arnie, who has a habit of climbing the town water tower, while his sisters Amy and Ellen do the rest. The relationship between the brothers is of both care and protection, as Gilbert continually enforces the "nobody touches Arnie" policy. A new FoodLand supermarket has opened, threatening the small Lamson's Grocery where Gilbert works. In addition, Gilbert is having an affair with a married woman, Betty Carver (Mary Steenburgen).
