00:00I present to you Dr. Augustin Massé.
00:02I've read your books.
00:03The Lord's Plague makes me laugh.
00:06My books make you laugh?
00:10Your patients, do you always tell them the truth?
00:15Yes, I want to give my soul.
00:17But tell me, to whom?
00:19Why do you want to give something that is yours
00:22to someone you don't know?
00:25He's not from here.
00:27Yes, no, he's a philosopher.
00:29No one really wants to believe in their own death
00:32and everyone has a visceral fear of it.
00:34You always have to tell the truth,
00:36to the one who asks for it.
00:37We are a place of life where we laugh more often than we cry.
00:40You do a good job.
00:41You make humans what they may not be.
00:44So I invited Fabrice Toussaint
00:46and he's interested in what we have.
00:48I promise to be as discreet as possible.
00:50In 20 to 25 years,
00:51there will be more than 4 million people
00:53who deserve a dignified end of life.
00:55What do you propose?
00:56I am an observer.
00:57I observe and I report.
01:00These assholes are believers.
01:03They don't care about life,
01:06even in ruins.
01:14Philosophy is learning to die.
01:16It's crazy.
01:17What you learn is how to help the living to die.
01:23Do you agree to talk to our psychologist?
01:25My psychologist is upstairs.
