Cinélux is an independent cinema managed by a passionate association of film enthusiasts. Its programming often includes special events where filmmakers, actors, and subject matter experts engage in insightful discussions and debates tied to the featured films. Collaborating with various associations, non-governmental organizations, and festivals, Cinélux also regularly screens children’s films and exclusive premieres.
Jeanne Grester’s intimate, attentive film follows Diana, a young mother confronting an incurable cancer who chooses to speak for herself, her children and those often unheard. Through personal testimony and the interwoven accounts of relatives and caregivers, the film examines what it means to live with illness — the routines, small mercies and shifting bonds that shape daily existence. Filmed with a gentle, observant eye, it balances tenderness and clarity, offering a portrait of resilience, love and the search for meaning amid fragility.
Followed by a discussion with director Jeanne Grester, Sonia Modena, Director of the Geneva Cancer League, and Chantal Diserens, Director of the Vaud Cancer League, in collaboration with the Geneva and Vaud Cancer Leagues.

As part of its Science-Fiction Ciné-Club, Cinélux presents After Yang by Kogonada, a gentle and meditative sci-fi gem that reimagines the genre through a deeply human lens. Set in a near future where domestic androids—“techno-sapiens”—are part of everyday life, the film explores technology, grief, and transmission with quiet intensity.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with journalist Arnaud Mittempergher (realiteartificielle.ch) and is organised in collaboration with the Association des Amis de la Maison d’Ailleurs.
In original English version with French subtitles.
