Guillaume Visseaux is a young forensic pathologist at the IRCGN (Institut de Recherche Criminelle du Pôle Judiciaire de la Gendarmerie Nationale), the Gendarmerie's center of excellence for complex crimes, accidents and disasters in France and sometimes abroad. He spends his life “making the dead speak”. While many see him as a “corpse cutter”, Guillaume defends the ethical, humanist and social role of his profession. But doesn't living his daily life with the dead take him away from the world of the living?
