A Bird of Paper
Amélie-Jeanne is a 22-year-old psychiatry patient. A year after her fifth psychotic episode, she still feels the effects in her everyday life. Feeling fragile but hopeful, her health is improving thanks to the strong bond she shares with her father, who faces challenges of his own.

A bird takes flight. Fragile, it strikes out against the wind. The bird is just as fragile as Amélie-Jeanne, who must fight every day against the voices that all too often invade her mind. The greatest ally and friend in her family is her father. Having lost his vision a few years ago, he now takes the time to listen to his daughter; that is, when she’s able to speak about herself. Amélie-Jeanne is a quiet girl, often exploring her own imagination, letting her thoughts take flight like the paper birds she likes to make.
The two of them find a certain companionship after many years spent in the same home without really knowing one another. A Bird of Paper is a true story of love between a father and his daughter, each supporting the other. Hand in hand, they realize they are now able to face hard times together.
