To learn overnight that one is suffering from an incurable disease is a fatality with no tomorrow. The time that remains then becomes the time that counts. Alyson, Steve, Norman and Marie have chosen to redefine their ultimate agenda. Echoing the fiction series Une autre histoire, the documentary accompanies actor Benoit McGinnis who shares the unusual daily life of these people who have chosen to live each moment intensely that life will give them. Une autre histoire, le temps qui compte also gives a voice to those who, by virtue of their profession, must deal on a daily basis with patients who are told they will die prematurely.
