Adem means “breath”. Tom, a young man who has cystic fibrosis, is struggling to cope with his short life expectancy. He crosses paths with Xavier who also has the lung disease. Xavier helps him to abandon his fatalism and say yes to life. This original and luminous film highlights the fragility and value of life, and explores the search for meaning and happiness, a search common to all people.

The film "Adem” also won the Grand Prix des Amériques.
