O October 14 on Netflix the series Everything asks for salvationtaken from the namesake autobiographical novel by Daniele Mencarelli, Young Witch Award 2020. Directed by Francesco Bruni, the extraordinary is the protagonist Frederico Cesar, young promise of cinema, best known for the character Martino in Skam Italia.
seven episodes, one for each of the seven days of TSO (Mandatory Health Care) which Daniele is subjected to after a psychotic breakdown. A collapse that will represent salvation, this time his. In that department he will find that he is capable of a new vision, uncontaminated by demonization of your sick part in favor of the healthyrealizing once and for all that the estrangement derived from his illnesses is nothing more than the channel that can finally take him outside, in full contact with that world that he feels hostile.
To help you, your dorm. A bunch of “crazies”, as he conceives them at first, who then become the only possible family in a space confined to two rooms, with an apathetic television and a few cigarettes as a placebo effect for a pain that is struggling to go away. A pain that, when understood, not just shared, loosen that grip on your head and allows you to dig deep into your heart, where the words are stuck. By putting them on the line, Daniele will discover that he knows how to communicate in unexpected ways, channel your anger into poetryand this will be the true cornerstone.
To support him: the wise Mario (Andrea Pennacchi), the tender Gianluca (Vincenzo Crea), the gentle giant Giorgio (Lorenzo Renzi) and the devout Madonnina (Vincenzo Nemolato). “The others”, the different ones, the ones that Daniele neutralizes at the beginning so as not to look in the mirror, will accompany him on this journey discovering where, deep down, you will find a piece of each of them. And then Nina (Fotinì Peluso), a jump into the void made by a trampoline too high not to be afraid. A cure that cannot ignore wounds or scars, but capable of generating life even where all seemed lost, destined to remain uncultivated.
“For the madmen of all times, swallowed up by the asylums of history: salvation“, with this request Daniele will articulate the entry into a saving conscience, which will forever change the way you look out the window. A series to watch to finally get away a normality that can become alienating, a deep reflection on the value of sitting on the side of reason, even in the absence of real error. Because, as Basaglia said: “Madness is a human condition. The problem is that society, in order to call itself civilized, must accept it as much as reason.“.
