Dolto

A biography with a fresh and sensitive perspective. Paris. 1916. At 8 years old, Françoise has a revelation: when she grows up, she will be an educational doctor! No one takes her seriously. Especially not her mother, frightened by this child with such free thoughts. But Françoise is not alone; her Good Guardian Angel watches over her and supports her through all the trials of her childhood. We relive these trials with them, tracing back to the origins of Françoise Dolto's thinking, and through her child's gaze, both so naive and so clear-sighted… A funny and tender investigation into the woman who revolutionized our relationship with childhood!
