The story of life inside a therapeutic-rehabilitation community for young people facing mental health problems.

A distinctive element of the community’s approach is the importance given to shared activities as part of the therapeutic and rehabilitation process. Among these, street football holds a special place: a space for relationships, responsibility, exchange and participation that led the young people all the way to the 2026 Serie A Festival tournament.

The documentary unfolds along two parallel lines: on one side, it follows the everyday life of the community, its activities and the relationships among the young people; on the other, it recounts their preparation, journey and participation in the tournament.

The courage of patients and therapists who, instead of keeping psychological fragility confined within the boundaries of the community, choose to go out into the world, expose themselves, meet others and transform football into an experience of connection, freedom and participation.
