Unit of Difficult Patients: What Future for the Criminally Insane?

This extraordinary documentary explores the lives of so-called "difficult patients" in a French psychiatric hospital. The stories of these men are often painful as they tell us about their illness and symptoms that include auditory hallucinations and delusions of persecution. Their appearance in the film is cathartic, especially for those who rarely talk. It is through their words that we learn of their ongoing turmoil as well as their hopes for the future.
