Rolling off “Hippocrates”, which world premiered at the Cannes’ Critics’ Week to warm reviews, doctor-turned-filmmaker Thomas Lilti delves once again into the medical world with “THE COUNTRY DOCTOR” (“Irreplaceable”).

Challenging each other with opposite views on medicine, the pair eventually bonds and learns from one another.
