Astrid is a comedian who makes people laugh for a living; her husband Markus is her manager and the two of them work well together. They have a nine-year-old daughter and are expecting their second child. When they learn that their child will not be born healthy, they are at first optimistic that they will be able to meet this challenge – although they have no idea what awaits them. But the closer it gets to the due date, the more Astrid begins to worry about the future of her unborn child as well as that of her family and her career. After many discussions and arguments Astrid realises that the decision that will affect all their lives must be made by her alone. What complicates matters further is the fact that, as a successful entertainer, she is in the eye of the public and the media.

À partir d’archives des premières expéditions scientifiques et campagnes de domestication conduites par les colonisateurs français en Afrique du Nord, Le Fort des fous suit une communauté de jeunes nomades et de baroudeurs alors qu’ils imaginent une société utopique en réponse au système impérialiste. Des reconstitutions, des improvisations et des entretiens sont menés avec les habitants d’Alger, de l’île de Cythère et de la communauté Prosfygika d’Athènes pour décrire une temporalité alternative et un espace autonome, en réfléchissant à la transmission et la réappropriation de l’histoire et en ravivant des souvenirs du passé comme stratégies de résistance.
