Simone is the sweet nickname 28-year-old Bahia has given to her medical walker after being forced to use it to get around following a long hospitalization. Over time, and after a few arguments, they’ve gotten to know each other. Their unusual story is peppered by incongruous, funny, revolting and often touching events. In a world where everything keeps moving faster and faster, we follow the journey of this young woman forced to slow down. Through her eyesthe obstacles of daily life are met with an off-the-wall humor that is sometimes surrealistic, and always resolutely optimistic.
