This photo essay tells the story of a journey into the enclosed world of illness. I experienced it in hospital facilities while exploring the frontiers of life and the limits of human resistance. I met patients, health staff and volunteer non-profit care providing organizations. The patients accepted my presence as a photographer. While entrusting me with their image, they revealed, without knowing it, their will to live. They are ordinary heroes leading battles against pain on a daily basis. Sometimes they succeede in reversing their destiny.
