Doctor Colbert is not a doctor like the others: this pioneer of psychiatry, a champion of Freud's theories, does not consider mad people as sick, but rather as people who need to be listened to. His colleagues at the Strasbourg hospital do not appreciate his theories, and even less so the Nazi occupier who, since the beginning of the war, has simply been eliminating the supposedly "weak-minded." In 1943, fleeing persecution, Colbert finds refuge with some of his residents in the heart of the Landes region, in a small abandoned farm where he wants to continue practicing. Thanks to a few resistance fighters, life is organized, and the "mad farm" is transformed into a real country clinic. Until the day when Colbert, who has hidden his true identity, must flee again under threat...
Through the unique story of a man who resisted Nazi barbarity, Olivier Deck takes us to the heart of a moving and courageous human adventure.
