Plot Synopsis
Jean-Dominique Bauby led a glamorous life as editor of the French Elle until the day he was hit by a massive stroke, which left him completely paralysed - except for his brain and one good eye. Starting with one blink for "yes" and two for "no", Bauby gradually developed a communication system with the help of a speech therapist. Using his blinks, he spent over a year dictating his thoughts to an editor, and the result is the novel The Diving Bell and the Butterfly - the basis for Julian Schnabel's life-affirming, award-winning film.
