The Orangerie: a unit in Luxembourg's neuropsychiatric hospital, its nursing staff, doctors and patients. A place where daily life is divided between trying to manage illness and learning to live with other people, a place that many have turned to for refuge yet can't wait to leave. We meet unique and desperate people, resourceful and powerless, talkative and silent, carers and cared-for, and are granted an insight into the unit's clinical approach. Mental illness has changed, along with its treatment and perception. [less ▲]
