It is true that alcohol causes misery. She keeps repeating it. She no longer remembers how she had this son, Logan. But this son changes her life… with him, she "received the whole world" as she says.
"Through an intimate speech, this monologue crosses the history of a woman from a precarious background who was relegated, from childhood, to a disabled track. It is this process of relegation, the fruit of a discriminatory economic and social system, that interested me and gave me the desire to delve into this text. On one side, there is a system that protects but also that decides and imposes its norms (IQ test, guardianships, etc.) and on the other, beings who are excluded from their own history, because of these norms with always questionable limits. Carine Bielen is a fictional character, she does not exist. But there are thousands of Carine Bielen on this earth, caught in the nets of social control and its normative blindness. I wanted to give her the floor." Céline Delbecq
