The Anchor
L’Ancre is a journey through the Arctic and the intimate stories of people who have experienced psychosis. 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.
