Follows two psychiatric units at the Esquirol Hospital in Paris.
| Plot Summary |
Averroès and Rosa Parks: two units of the Esquirol Hospital, which -like the Adamant- are part of the Paris Central Psychiatric Group. From individual interviews to "carer-patient" meetings, the filmmaker focuses on showing a form of psychiatry that continually strives to make room for and rehabilitate the patients' words. Little by little, each patient eases and allows a glimpse into their world. Within an increasingly worn-out health system, how can the forsaken be given a place among others? The pared-down camerawork draws attention to articulations and expressions - we not only discern the sensitivity with which the patients relate to the world, but also their suffering and fragility. This is a deeply empathetic look into psychiatric care and the inner worlds of a stigmatized group, revealing much about the human soul and society itself.
