A demain sur la lune, a moving documentary about Peyo, a therapy horse working in the palliative care unit of Calais Hospital

In the palliative care unit of Calais Hospital, an unusual resident wanders the corridors: Peyo, a magnificent horse with deep, soulful eyes whose presence soothes, comforts, and seems to touch the very souls of those nearing the end of life.

By his side, Hassen Bouchakour, his lifelong companion and handler, observes, accompanies, and strives to understand the exceptional bond connecting his horse to the most vulnerable of patients. Brought to life through the sensitive lens of filmmaker Thomas Balmès, A demain sur la lune is far more than a simple documentary: It is a profoundly human experience, a journey into the heart of life’s final moments, where we discover that it is still possible to love, to laugh, and even to care in a different way—sometimes without words, sometimes through a single breath shared between a horse and a human being.
