Living with a bruised soul

SYNOPSIS

Antoine, Rémi, and Cyril, all in their thirties—the age when people are building their lives—suffer from mental health disorders. Now “stabilized,” they have come a long way and face a daily struggle to live with their illness, gain independence and freedom, and adapt to the world around them.
