Synopsis

For 26 years (1972–1998), Swiss dentist Julien Grivel treated Hansenites (lepers) pro bono in Greece. An inner journey that helped him see the world and life differently. “By adopting the language of the Greeks, I unconsciously adopted their thinking,” he says. His friendship with ex-hansenite Manolis Fountoulakis was a catalyst.
