The Adamant is a unique day-care centre. A floating structure located on the Seine in the heart of Paris, it welcomes adults suffering from mental disorders, offering the kind of care that grounds them in time and space and helps them to recover or keep up their spirits. The team running it tries to resist the deterioration and dehumanisation of psychiatry as best as they can. (Festival information, Berlin, 2023)
The Ecumenical Jury awards the documentary On the Adamant for the respectful approach to a group of mentally challenged people on a daycare-center on a barge on the river Seine by fostering a sense of community.
