L'intérêt d'Adam

Léa Drucker nailed it in this new Belgian social drama about a nurse's shift in the hell of a hospital's pediatric unit. The nurse, Lucy, is the main character, and she is confident, professional, sober, vigilant, attentive and compassionate. And dedicated. She is assisting a lot of injured children and their frustrated families, but the most worrying is Adam, a young child with an eating disorder which resulted in a broken arm. His mother is a young girl whose impulsive and dangerous behavior is leading her to loss of custody, and she's at the point of losing it. The film amazingly portrays several social issues we must be aware of and gives a wonderful example of supportive behavior. "Adam's Sake" is definitely a praiseworthy alternative of Superman, with Lucy being a Superwoman. Bravo, Léa Drucker, Laura Wandel and everybody else involved in the making of this remarkable film.
