WOODVINE, MT FIELD NATIONAL PARK
Beatrice (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi) is a motor-mouthed fantasist, a self-styled billionaire countess who likes to believe she’s on intimate terms with world leaders. Donatella (Micaela Ramazzotti) is a tattooed introvert, a fragile young woman locked in her own mystery. They are both patients at the Villa Biondi, a progressive but secure psychiatric clinic. Paolo Virzì’s new film tells the story of the unpredictable and moving friendship that develops between the two women as they flee the mental institution in search of love and happiness in the open-air asylum - the world of sane people. Depicting its complex characters with honesty, humour and true emotional depth, this is a touching and unique take on friendship, freedom and mental illness.
Free wheeling drama direct from Cannes.
