Zoom on the experiment it Borde, whose project, libertarian Utopia, permanent revolution, laboratory of the artistic movements and policies of the years 1960-1970, the social and therapeutic practices innovating and critical of the very whole company, were to treat the madness differently.
The private clinic of Borders founded by Jean Oury and a group of young psychiatrists, influenced by the psychiatric revolution of the Forties, then per May 68, sought “to make live the patients all while curing them”. This movement, whose psychoanalyst Felix Guattari was a vibrating figure, took into account the creative and productive dimension of the madness, and redrew, while being torn off with repressive dimensions of traditional psychiatry and psychoanalytical conformism, of new relationship between looking after and neat. Calling into question the hierarchies, the divisions of the labour, it placed the institution like centers therapeutic device.

Borders or the right to the madness is luminous strolls with the private clinic Borders It, which leads us to the meeting of the patients, Jean Oury or Guattari and a collective life inventing itself. Meetings of word, around film being done, the time which runs, a certain form of softness, the palpable Utopia order the setting in scene of film.
