Labeled 'idiots', SUMMER IN THE FOREST follows the stories of Philippe, Michel, Andre and Patrick, who were locked away and forgotten in violent asylums, until the 1960s, when the young philosopher Jean Vanier took a stand and secured their release. It was the first time in history that anyone had beaten the system, and together, they created L'Arche, a commune at the edge of a beautiful forest near Paris, and a quiet revolution was born.
