J’ai quitté l’Aquitaine
2006 · 52m · Documentary
A filmmaker confined to a psychiatric institution tries to find healing by bringing together all the members of his family for a collective experiment: using a construction game set, they must try to recreate as precisely as possible the happiness that once filled their family home, which disappeared 25 years ago. If even one family member managed to restore everything perfectly, the patient would be cured - that much is certain. But nothing was ever going to go as planned.

Stimmen im Kopf
2016
Around six to 15 percent of all people (study by John Hearst 2011) hear voices at some point in their lives. Many of them even live with their invisible companions for their entire lives. Well over half of voice hearers are mentally healthy and lead a completely unremarkable life. Despite this, voice hearers continue to be stigmatized and are subject to prejudice. As a result, few speak openly about their experiences. In recent decades in particular, however, voice hearing has been regarded as a symptom of impaired brain function. The documentary sheds light on the phenomenon. Sufferers describe the voices in their heads, as well as the thoughts and feelings they trigger in them, and scientists explain the causes that lead people to hear voices.
