A portrait of Sabine Bonnaire, who has autism, created by her closest sister. The story of her life is told through personal archives, filmed by the actress over a period of 25 years, and testimony of her life today in a specialised facility.
The documentary evokes an endearing personality whose development and multiple gifts were crushed by a failing care system. After a tragic five-year stay in a psychiatric hospital, Sabine regains her zest for life, even if her abilities remain impaired, in a care home in Charente.
