But this 2017 Best Documentary C\u00e9sar nominated film is not about disability, but rather the discovery of a special ability. Dissatisfied with H\u00e9l\u00e8ne\u2019s progress, her mother V\u00e9ronique quits her job so that she can devote herself full time to H\u00e9l\u00e8ne\u2019s care. Up to this point H\u00e9l\u00e8ne had been completely unable to communicate, but V\u00e9ronique is astonished to discover that H\u00e9l\u00e8ne is able to place letters in a sequence, like a scrabble game, in order to make words. Not only that, but H\u00e9l\u00e8ne has a gift for language, creating surreal and playful poems with wit and insight. In the decade since V\u00e9ronique made the discovery, H\u00e9l\u00e8ne has fashioned an alter ego for herself called Babouillec and published several books of poetry. These works, adapted to the stage by the prestigious Avignon International Theater Festival, are a window into a mischievous mind reveling in a liberated inner world, yet capable of striking observations about the outer world. While H\u00e9l\u00e8ne\u2019s creative process is explored, it\u2019s the glimpses of her relationship with her patient and dedicated mother that touch us most.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ovid.tv\/videos\/latest-news-from-the-cosmos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LATEST NEWS FROM THE COSMOS | 2017 \u2013 85\u2032 \u2013\u00a0 Documentary.
