Nathan is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Now, he’s better, then he was a lot worse. He films himself, his companions at the hospital, his bipolar best friend, his father, his sister, his mother, and his lover between 2011 and 2018. For him, everyone is a “loulou”, in their own way. Thanks to them, he finally starts to become a man instead of a madman.
