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.

How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
