Elena, a young trainee psychiatrist, dreams of bringing “mad” people back to a normal life; she makes them talk, she provokes and incites them in the hope of finding the distinguishing signs of normality. Fausto is a boy judged “mad”, who has been hospitalised against his will several times, an extrovert musician, he shows clear signs of normality. The film is about the patient-doctor relationship that grows up between two fragile people which will lead them to demonstrations of ‘healthy madness’. A great love story? More a great desire for freedom.
