Directed by a former medical doctor, HIPPOCRATES is a darkly comic portrait of a Paris hospital as seen through the eyes of a young intern, Benjamin (Vincent Lacoste, EDEN) who begins his internship at the hospital ward run by his father. Confident and determined to be a success, Vincent soon realizes that the reality of practicing medicine is a lot grimmer than what he had imagined. Vincent finds himself overshadowed by a more talented intern Abdel (Reda Kateb, ZERO DARK THIRTY) who is disadvantaged by his status as an immigrant. When Vincent makes a critical error, his father quickly covers it up, but Abdel is not fooled...
