Black-clad with an ominous aura created by their distorted guitar epics, burnt-out ballads and raucous mantric jams.

Documentary of La Borde clinic in France and its radical politics of experimentation, in which residents and staff reciprocate in a kind of entanglement, an opening up amongst themselves.
