The Madness Among Us (2016)
What defines us as normal?
Directed by Fernanda Fontes Vareille
Leonor and Elizangela do not appear crazy at first sight in the way that society often imagines. They are victims of violent and uncontrollable seizure, which sometimes result even during filming in forcible confinement. The rest of the time they are endowed with sensitivity and clarity about their condition, which offers anyone who will listen to them the opportunity to familiarize themselves with what madness is, through their words, and also through their tragic and touching destinies.
Através dos corredores e grades de um hospital psiquiátrico, busca-se personagens e histórias que revelem as fronteiras do que é considerado loucura. Por meio de, principalmente, personagens femininos, o documentário exala as contradições da razão nos fazendo refletir nossos próprios conflitos, desejos e erros.
