La Pazza Gioia

[Machine Translation] Winner of 5 Italian Academy Awards! Life is sad, but lovely. An ode to life by women who have found the best friendship!

Beatrice, a "self-proclaimed countess" who walks around loudly and with great enthusiasm, is like the queen of the facility. One day, she catches the eye of Donatella, a beautiful young newcomer with tattoos all over her emaciated body. The two become roommates and gradually bond over the course of their haphazard escapades. When a painful memory resurfaces in Donatella's traumatized mind, Beatrice attempts to rescue her from being pulled back into the hospital...
