Description:

In this poignant and thought-provoking film, we follow the heart-wrenching journey of Berthe, a young woman struggling with mental illness since her early childhood. Over the years, a dedicated doctor has attempted to unravel the mysteries behind her behavior while teaching her basic life skills such as understanding time and emotional expression. However, his methods are not without controversy, as he occasionally experiments on her and supports a misguided solution - marrying her off in hopes of solving all her problems.Unfortunately, Berthe's life takes an even darker turn when her husband, growing tired of her condition, abandons her. This betrayal leaves her feeling more helpless than ever before. As we watch this young woman navigate through a world that often misunderstands and mistreats her, the film raises profound questions about mental health, love, and societal expectations. It serves as both a compelling character study and a powerful commentary on our society's treatment of those who are different.
