I met Jean-Marie Lorand last May. Suffering from neuro-muscular degeneration, Jean-Marie gradually lost the use of his muscles. At age 9, he gets about in a carriage but that doesn't prevent him from leading a very active life. Confined to bed for the past three years, worn out by physical and psychological pain, Jean-Marie demands the right to die with dignity. In the meantime, he wants to leave a record of his story. I suggested filming him for three weeks whatever his final decision : to live or request euthanasia. This film is the result of our meeting and our friendship. Vincent Fooij
