New Documentary "Pretty Ugly" Tells the Story of The Lunachicks

Juliette
As a child, she lives happily ever after as a goose-herder girl, although her dreams are already foreshadowing her sad fate. She spends her adolescent years with nuns, who discipline her harshly, leaving deep, unhealed scars on her soul. Her true, great, one and only love seems to be fulfilled, but he wants to leave her. She won't let him, she's embracing his love, all of it. They lock her up in a madhouse. That's where the therapist will find it. The relationship between the two of them, the evocation of each other's personalities, is the theme of the film, which raises the question: which of them is the patient?
