Overview:

This film is the confession of a man whom society usually describes as mentally ill. It allows us to discover a being endowed with rare qualities of soul and spirit. It is also a testimony sometimes funny, sometimes tender, sometimes bitter and upsetting on the itinerary of an individual stuck between society, family, psychiatric institution and himself. Jacques Zelnio died in 1989 after having lived as a recluse at his parents' place, in a room of 10 m2 from which he only went out on very rare occasions... to be prescribed tranquillizers.
