Moored on the banks of the Seine in the heart of Paris, the Adamant is a floating day-care centre that welcomes adults suffering from mental disorders. Using a variety of different approaches, they offer care that grounds participants in time and space, helping to keep spirits high on the path to recovery. The team that runs it tries to resist the deterioration and dehumanisation of psychiatry as best they can. The film invites us on board to meet the patients and caregivers who inhabit the Adamant in their day-to-day lives. Compassionate, intelligent and shrewdly observed.
