Synopsis
After being in several psychiatric centers as a schizophrenic patient, Lluís Gracia discovered that painting could be a tool to face his illness. From then on, he has cooperated with several associations by developing his painting workshops with other patients and sharing his experience. Retrats monitors the personal and artistic evolution of eight people taking part in one of these workshops: the teacher Lluís Gràcia and Isabel, Pilar, Jordi, Cati, Carles, Antonia and Jaime. It is a positive view that shows the illusion of a group of people to find a way out from their illness and to overcome their situation.
