In the 1980s, Paulin can be seen pushing his home-made trolleybuses through the streets of Lausanne. Fascinated by them as a boy, he began making them as an adult—out of anything he could find. He is a familiar figure in the city, eccentric but harmless, never causing any trouble.
Then, one day, he is anonymously accused of disturbing the peace and threatened with hospitalization. It is the start of a frightening legal battle in which calls for Paulin’s acquittal are met with denials of his right to freedom.
Based on the life of “The Bus Man,” Martial Richoz, who was incarcerated in a psychiatric hospital at the age of 25, this story exploresthe shadowy and ever-changing boundary between “normality” and pathology.
