Shot in Tel-Aviv, this documentary is about Jews who were raised Ultra-Orthodox and then made the choice to become secular. For most of them, this decision meant severing ties with their families and the community and setting out alone to find their footing in an unfamiliar society.

Valvert
Valérie Mréjen
Valvert is a psychiatric hospital in Marseille, founded in the mid-seventies in a spirit of freedom and openness. The film observes daily life there, painting a portrait of the place through interviews with employees and scenes from the patients’ lives. In an atmosphere resolutely opposed to the standard institutional system, the liberty at Valvert reveals various facets of ordinary madness.

It is the end of a meal. Eight people are gathered around a big table. They evoke the memory of a lost friend. Through the stories of each about the absentee, the character traits, the haabits or the expressions, a portrait in hollow is outlined.
