You'll get out sane. Sanus egredieris. With these words carved in stone, in 1881 the Provincial Psychiatric Hospital of Girifalco (CZ)has been inaugurated.

In a small town in Southern Italy it is born a large structure can produce, over decades, a revolution in the treatment of mental illness. Here patients considered suitable benefit of the open door system can go out and experience the country, creating a unique fusion between the inner and outer world of the hospital community.

A complex environment where solidarity, fear, friendship and loneliness live together. Through the eyes of the main character Angelo, this documentary film tells about the hundred years of the OP of Girifalco, tracing its history, scientific advances but especially the many human stories of patients who have lived with their hopes. Because behind that phrase there is a promise to keep: You'll get out sane.
