A true story of two mentally ill people rediscovering life anew, healing through love, and finding refuge in nature whilst facing prejudice from their own families and the small town where they both live. An unexpected event brings morality into question. Inspired by true events which took place in 1978 when Italy became the first country in the world to abolish mental asylums. Upon the closure of a mental asylum in Florence Anja returns home into the care of her brother. For everyone Anja's a mentally disturbed woman except "crazy" Libero. He's the only one who treats her without prejudice, and with his child-like innocence allows her to be free. Libero lives with his mother. He did time in a criminal asylum for the accidental murder of his father. Anja & Libero fall in love. They live out their dream under the protection of a secret shack in the middle of a forest surrounded by coloured trees. When Anja gets pregnant her family does everything to separate her from Libero and prevent the birth of an "unacceptable" family. —KIera-Morgan
