Searching for her mother among the multitude of so-called “madwomen”, Fanni discovers a community of modern heroines who defy expectations, along with the unexpected friendship of fellow patients. The annual sumptuous and renowned “Party of Fools” of the asylum is in preparation.

Politicians, artists, and socialites flock to this ball, and this will be Fanni’s last hope of escaping the closing trap. With echoes of ‘Girl, Interrupted’, this is a beautifully filmed drama with Yolande Moreau (you may remember her from 2008’s ‘Séraphine’) as the mother, being absolutely captivating.
