The Head against the walls
the Head against the walls is a Film French carried out by Georges Franju and left in 1959.
Synopsis
Arthur Gérane alternates internments and imprisonments, intersected with some furtive escapades. Asylum, then prison, then asylum, asylum and asylum still - or, Hôpital psychiatrique, as one wants well pleasantly to name it from now on in the Thirties. Enfermements in act thus, but such psychological. The hero flees in vain through fields, he remains captive of itself: Les walls is before all your walls. They can move back in front of your steps, but your freedom even remains an enclosure if you do not leave toi-même, blows to him the rusted mouth of the locks of its room of detention. La Tête against the murs is not other than the banal history of a disabled person of freedom.
