In the spaces of the former S. Maria della Pietà asylum in Rome, among the pavilions and park, some key figures from the "Giuseppina Project" (a rehabilitation plan funded by the City of Rome since 1995, facilitating the transition of the last patients to external life) recount this "revolution within a revolution." Through memories of long-term patients like Giuseppina and Anna, they reveal the institutional challenges faced. On the centennial of Franco Basaglia's birth, the film reflects on the enduring stigma of difference in the face of "institutional violence" and offers a guide for action in times of crisis.
