Sur l´Adamant

Nicolas Philibert |France | 2023 | doc | 109 min | French | e.s.

A heartwarming and touching documentary about the Adamant, a unique day-care center in a boat located on the Seine river, in the heart of Paris. A safe place where psychiatric patients can spend their days making music, developing creative activities and lending a listening ear. People who have difficulty communicating because of fears, obsessions or because their heads work differently.

At the Adamant, the focus is not on pills and protocols but on people. A community where otherness is not excluded, but embraced. A place where the management team tries to resist the deterioration and dehumanization in psychiatry as best they can. In the process, director Philibert shows that there is poetry in deviating from the norm.
