Les vies de Thérèse

Do you remember the charasmatic Thérèse in 'Les Invisibles' by Sébastien Lifshitz, the married woman who at the age of 40 discovers freedom, feminisim and her homosexuality ? The one who created Babayagas, the first retirement home for feminists ? She is showcased here in an intimate and surprisingly lucid portrait of her life and her struggles. Rare and tender images of old-age and the sunset of life, incredibly touching.

Five lives in a shelter for women victims of violence, five ways of keeping themselves busy whilst coping. And friendship to help them rebuild their lives.
