Le Courtil , a juvenile center on the border between Belgium and France , is a small oasis for children with psychological and social disorders. Their therapy is based on the - albeit controversial - ideas of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan: creativity and patience are more productive than repression and restriction. For the children, it means more freedom. For the supervisors, it is a search for what works and what does not. A Ciel Ouvert casts a warm, empathetic look at a unique and daring education model .
