Berthe

Berthe tells the story of a young woman who has faced mental illness since childhood. A doctor attempts to help her understand basic concepts, yet he also exploits her situation by allowing her parents to marry her off in hopes of finding a solution to her struggles.

As the narrative unfolds, the consequences of this decision become evident. Berthe's husband grows weary of her and abandons her, leaving her in a more vulnerable state than before. This exploration of mental health and the impact of societal expectations makes Berthe a poignant reflection on personal and familial relationships.

For collectors, Berthe offers a glimpse into the 1970s portrayal of mental health issues in cinema. The film features performances from actors such as Antoine Carette and Suzy Falk, adding depth to this emotional narrative.
