Synopsis
Anna, une adolescente de dix-sept ans, fille d'un riche ingénieur suisse, est affectée de troubles mentaux particulièrement graves : autisme, hallucination, régression infantile. Après de nombreuses thérapies, toutes plus inefficaces les unes que les autres, Anna est confiée à M Blanche, une psychothérapeute qui refuse le titre de médecin et ambitionne de la soigner sans recourir aux traitements traditionnels. Grâce aux dessins d'Anna, M Blanche parvient à comprendre ce dont souffre sa jeune patiente car la fonction symbolique est extrêmement développée chez des sujets atteints de schizophrénie. En réalité, Anna a été privée d'amour maternel et vit murée dans un dédale de censures intérieures qui l'empêchent de participer normalement à la vie extérieure. Adoptant une méthode faite de patience et d'amour, surmontant les crises et les difficultés, dont la phase la plus aiguë est la tentative de suicide par immersion d'Anna dans le lac de Lucerne, M Blanche parvient à insuffler à l'adolescente de progressives facultés d'autonomie.Actors
