Cin’éthique is a program initiated by medical students, the result of a collaboration between the Montpellier-Nîmes Faculty of Medicine and the Occitanie Ethics Reflection Space. Its purpose is to stimulate ethical reflection on health issues by comparing clinical reality with its artistic representation. Each themed event begins with a film screening, followed by an interdisciplinary debate with several specialists on the topic in question.

Promise: film by Thomas Hug De Larauze and Laurène Hug De Larauze (2025).

A true story. Laurène, 22, leaves behind an image of an overflowing zest for life despite her illness, as well as dozens of hours of videos she had filmed to share her story. No one ever saw her footage, and she and her twin brother had promised to make a film with it. Following in his sister's footsteps, Thomas decides to search his memory and that of his family and fulfill his promise.
