Michel Christen died in his flat in the city-centre of Geneva. And during two years and a half, his decomposed body stayed there He was 53 years old, had a family, friends He was followed-up by medical and social services. He died forgotten, without anyone noticing
During two years and a half, the man did not move from his couch of his Geneva apartment. Two and a half years his neighbours and friends thought he was gone or in convalescence. His letterbox was full, his mail returned. Electricity had eventually been cut off and the real estate agency was about to proceed to an eviction.
When finally the police force the door, they discover a flat infected by vermin and in the middle, the decomposed body of Michel Christen, a 53 years-old Swiss man, well known in the neighbourhood. Of him only remain bones, hair and teeth.
The investigation held in the film will show that his death dates back to 28 months. But the date on the death certificate is the one of the day the body was found. This is the regulation
How could this man, who had a family and who was followed-up by medical and social services, fall into oblivion in such a way?
