Françoise Dolto, for the love of children is a poignant exploration of trauma and healing set against the harsh realities of post-war France.

The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of quiet reflection amidst the chaos of their lives, with Dolto's character serving as a guiding light. Itâs a unique piece that invites viewers to ponder the impact of childhood on adulthood, and how the past continuously shapes us.
