Joseph is fiercely protective of her as they flee the authorities to find their way home, back to the parents he believes abandoned them many years ago. They cling to a distant memory of a picturesque house, Chloé is able to construct it exactly the same each time, using the pieces of broken colored glass, she carries with her everywhere. Their plan is short-lived however, when they are caught and returned to yet another care home. Joseph wastes no time in stealing from his room-mates and demanding the two be left alone. Chloé makes great progress however with her carer, who is able to assess her condition and continue her care. Joseph quietly resents this new control in her life and is soon discovered to be a thief by his roommate, Karim who develops a begrudging respect for him. Their situation worsens still when a figure from his and Chloé's past returns and reveals a secret which enrages Joseph who lashes out violently and flees with Chloé. Pursued through Marseilles as Joseph steals his way from one situation to the next, Chloé is determined to find the home she can picture so vividly.

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.
