Françoise Dolto, the desire to live
Serge Le Peron

Synopsis
Script
In the aftermath of the Second World War, Claude (10 years old), son of communist resistance fighters whose mother died in Auschwitz and Ben (14 years old), child of a prostitute and a Jewish mobster, confront, with Françoise Dolto , the demons that haunt them. They meet thanks to her, become friends, live together an exceptional adventure, then separate to know opposite trajectories. We witness through these two cases treated, but also those of other children in great difficulty, the daily work of an exceptional doctor, inventor of a discipline: psychoanalysis for children.
