Director' s comments

How to communicate when you don't master the language ? How to conceive the world without words ? We met a group of individuals with aphasia who, after a brain injury, have got a language impairment. Using the methods of direct cinema, we filmed them during their weekly workshops, focusing on communication. Words Between Us tells the everyday life of this group: their efforts, their successes and their relationships, on their path towards the reactivation of their language.
