Judith, a young nurse, is so meek in front of her husband Roland, that she can't manage to tell him that she has lost her job. When he learns this, he starts to follow her...He discovers that in a secret life, she is another mysterious and sublime person.
Set in the historic site of Brussels' béguinage, this film provides a detailed portrait of the neighborhood's residents. Comprised of about 30 interconnected chapters, it unfolds over the course of a single day, from dawn to dusk, with each segment building on the last, like a web of stories.
This film is not a document about madness, any more than a film-truth investigation. It is a reflection of the experience of the Club Antonin Artaud's theater group (social and cultural rehabilitation center for the mentally ill, located in the Begijnhof district of Brussels and in which Boris Lehman was a leader for many years). Through the playful and instinctive creation of a piece built from collective improvisations, the actors' desire is expressed to "not stagnate, to be able to get away with it and to stand on its own".
