Back to reality

Guided by the memory of her older sister, a Down's syndrome carrier, author and director Catherine Hargreaves questions the perception of difference.

Back to Reality is the story of 3 sisters: the eldest Rachel, who has Down's syndrome and is now missing; the youngest Rebecca, who filmed their sisterhood for 10 years before being betrayed by her hard drive; and the youngest Catherine, who inherits this missing film and now turns it into a play. Together with Adèle Gascuel, they delicately weave the threads of this moving and often funny biographical tale, which evokes the feeling of belonging and the violence of the institution towards those placed on the periphery of society. Alongside them, a trio with a boy-band feel accompanies the story with humor and song.
