PLOT

Inspired by true events which took place in 1978 when Italy became the first country in the world to abolish mental asylums. Upon a closure of an asylum in Florence Anja returns home into the care of her brother Ettore and his wife Lisa. With the help and a great sensitivity from her newly appointed psychiatrist Anja slowly starts to adapt to her new life beyond the asylum. She meets Libero, a local man who delivers vegetables to people in the village. Libero, just like Anja, suffers from mental disorder and learning disabilities. Anja and Libero fall in love. They conduct their relationship under the protection of a secret shack in the middle of the forest. An unexpected event brings morality into question.
