Quello che so di te

After the birth of her daughter, a woman resolves that she cannot succumb to the instability that runs in her family. She traces this inheritance to her great-grandmother Venera, who was admitted to the Mandalari psychiatric hospital in Messina decades earlier. Returning to Messina, she sifts through conflicting family lore, institutional records, and wartime memories of fathers and sons to piece together what really happened to Venera.
