Joris Lachaise's camera, accompanied by writer and filmmaker Khady Sylla, takes us into the Thiaroye psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Dakar. Through Sylla's experience of mental illness and related treatments, the film attempts to explore Senegal's recent history: the country's independence and the decolonization of psychiatry.
