synopsis

A psychotherapist listens to archive testimonies recorded during her sessions with former patients. Ailyn, Bruno and Gilles describe their psychosis. The words and stories mingle with images of a journey across the vast Arctic aboard a large sailboat.
Between the other stories, the therapist also recounts her own journey through psychosis.
Une psychothérapeute écoute des témoignages d'archive enregistrés au cours de ses séances. Ailyn, Bruno et Gilles y décrivent leurs troubles. Les paroles et les récits s’entremêlent et nous partons en voyage dans le vaste territoire de l’Arctique à bord d’un grand voilier.
Au fil de l'écoute, elle entame le récit de sa propre traversée de la psychose.
Een psychotherapeute luistert naar archiefgetuigenissen opgenomen tijdens haar sessies. Ailyn, Bruno en Gilles beschrijven hun pyschoses. De woorden en verhalen vermengen zich met beelden van een reis over en onder de zee van de uitgestrekte Noordpool aan boord van een grote zeilboot.
Tussen de andere verhalen door vertelt de therapeute ook over haar eigen reis door een psychose.
