The race for the most thrilling Erasmus is sometimes frantic. In the stories we tell, this year is like a real apprenticeship novel. What is it really? Through intimate stories, Génération Erasmus recounts bits of life, of youth, of unexpected turns taken thanks to this year spent abroad.
Attracted by the Nordic countries, Claire decides to go to Finland for her mobility year. When he arrives, one of his priorities is to find a physiotherapist. Disabled, she requires support and sessions every week.
By typing “bilingual physiotherapist in Tempere” in her search bar, Claire comes across a young professional and decides to make an appointment. Over the course of the sessions, and according to conversations “in English”, the two women will forge a sincere friendship, which neither had really seen coming.
