(Italy, 8’)

by Giovanni Dinatale

Distribution: Premiere Film


The short film, set in 1968, tells the story of a meeting between a patient and the director of the asylum where she is institutionalized. In the office where the meeting takes place, we uncover the reasons for her confinement that are not strictly clinical. The film explores a snapshot of the society of that era, its ideologies, and the concepts about women that led to their institutionalization.
