This time round, he fixes his lens on a unique drop-in centre: the Adamant. A floating building built on the Seine in the heart of Paris, the Adamant welcomes adults suffering with mental health issues, offering them a care setting which grounds them in time and space, helping them to reconnect with the world and keep their spirits up. The team running the centre try to fight the deterioration and dehumanisation of psychiatry as best they can. The film invites us to come on board and meet the patients and carers who make up daily life on the Adamant. The movie is produced by Milena Poylo and Gilles Sacuto on behalf of TS Productions, in co-production with France 3 Cinéma and Japan’s Long Ride. Its release in French cinemas is entrusted to Les Films du Losange as of 22 March.
