The synopsis
Seven episodes, one for each of the seven days of TSO (Compulsory Health Treatment) to which Daniele (Federico Cesari) is subjected. A week of isolation from the rest of the world during which he will have to face his fears and dig inside himself in a path of acceptance of himself and others that will lead him to forge the strongest, most sincere and true bonds of the life of he.
The book, published by Mondadori, is set during the 1994 World Cup, when Daniele is subjected to TSO following an explosion of anger. During the seven days of forced internment he meets five other men in his own situation, and from whom he can learn a great deal.
Does ending up under TSO for seven days mean being crazy? This is what Daniele asks himself, a twenty-year-old with an excess of sensitivity, who after a psychotic crisis wakes up in the dormitory of a psychiatric ward.
