Who are we when nobody is watching? What are our fantasies and phobias if we don’t share them? After many years in a protected psychiatric community, Alberto comes to stay with Vicky’s family. As a vulnerable adult, Alberto divides his time between his old therapeutic community, his work, and adapting to the rhythms and boundaries of his new ‘home’. A touching, unexpected friendship anchors this stark, first-person window into psychosis.
