AND DON'T CALL ME CRAZY

POLISH TITLE: I NIE MÓW O MNIE WARIAT

The protagonist, who is treated at a mental health facility, carries out the vivisection of the psychiatric care system. Physicians do not have enough time to get to know and understand their patients. They formulate easy-to-classify diagnoses, prescribe pills and ‘normal’ life, such as work, family and stabilisation. The main character is trying to escape this reality by listening to interesting discussions on mental illnesses conducted by people with bird heads. The film provides a sad review of the healthcare system in which a diagnosis is for doctors, while for patients it signifies stigmatisation and the treatment of symptoms, not looking for causes.
