Her Name is Sabine

The documentary is about Sabine Bonnaire. Sabine is autistic. The film was made by her sister. Her sister is the actress Sandrine Bonnaire. Sandrine filmed her over twenty five years. The footage she has comes from the family archive. In the old recordings Sabine laughs and dances. Later she spent five years in a psychiatric hospital. Those years did her no good. What she is like today stands next to the older footage. She now lives in a care home in the Charente. There she has built an order of her own again. The camera goes into daily life. Sabine and Sandrine Bonnaire appear in the eighty five minute documentary, a French production Sandrine Bonnaire finished in 2008.
