In an attempt to save his men as they’re trying to put out a fast-growing fire in a factory, Sergeant Franck Pasquier suffers serious injuries to his body and face. At the hospital, when he comes out of a two-month coma, the firefighter learns that his burns will require numerous plastic surgeries, while his fractures require a long rehabilitation involving extensive physiotherapy. Suddenly, his world collapses. Painfully mourning his professional ambitions, Franck refuses to impose his handicap and his new appearance on his wife, a teacher who has just given birth to twins.
