The Psychoanalyst and Documentarist Gérard Miller, omnipresent in the comment, gives the floor to a dozen young people.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on human psyche could only fascinate psychoanalyst Gerard Miller; Contestable media treatment, since the beginning of the health crisis, young people could only react the chronicler Engaged Gérard Miller. The prolific documentary (still Gérard Miller) decided to collect the testimonials of a dozen young young people from 18 to 25 years old and to make it a film, co-written with his companion, Anaïs labels, and Korealized with his daughter Coralie Miller. A very personal work, so.
The panel is representatively. Paul, 24, lives in Paris; Titouan, 22, in Bordeaux; Inès, 18 years old, in Bagnolet; Rayhan, 21, in Saint-Denis; Hanna, 18, in Bagnolet … All remember the first confinement as an extraordinary event. Almost a holiday for Inès, “In addition it was nice”. But Chloé, 23 years old (the bouchot), panicked.
For Florentin, confined with his girlfriend in Strasbourg, the most destabilizing was to be “traced” permanently by his parents with a geolocation application: the horror. As for Agathe, 21 years old, high-level sportsman, she trained every day in front of her at home.
The carelessness returns to the summer of 2020, while the pandemic seems over. The second confinement, in the fall of 2020, is only harder. Deprivation of freedom weighs, as the difficulty of binding affective relations. The screens take over, when a minority opts for transgression.
Stigma and precariousness
Strange, this young couple who, over the months, finds himself to live like his “Darons” … “The verb love is not simple, as Cocteau said.” Gérard Miller, also at the comment, distills some Quotes and gives a long time to Martin, 25 years old. Only in a studio, he eats pasta, makes his yogurts and consults a psychiatrist.
Red thread, the stigmatization of young people over the last twenty months, accused of endangering their grandparents or to be irresponsible by the journalists, before they finally interested them, to see the precariousness of many.
Today, the first sequelae appear: difficulty to find a balanced day-night pace, to make a kiss, school dropping … then, by nature, the human being is looking for a manager. “We flew more than a year to my generation,” says Florentine. But “we can never translate someone to justice” to have reparation, continues his brother.
We would have liked to hear more Bérénice, 25, from Blanc-Mesnil (Seine-Saint-Denis), who worries about his mother, fragile health, but not for her. Death, she knows. In his country of origin, Cameroon, one can die quickly, for lack of medicines, diseases that are careful “in a few days” in France.
