Synopsis
"In the Averroès and Rosa Parks psychiatric units of Esquirol Hospital in Paris, staff provide comfort to their charges and help them find paths to rehabilitation. Sitting in on therapy sessions and holding the occasional interview, Nicolas Philibert, winner of the Berlinale Golden Bear with On the Adamant, captures the voices of patients speaking frankly about their lives, their hopes and their demons, opening doors to wider appreciation for psychiatric care and helping build empathy with people who live with mental illness.
