Plot

Based on clinical cases and therapies, based on a humanistic approach and artistic expression, conducted by the pioneering psychiatrist Nise da Silveira (also co-writer on the project), at the Psychiatric Center Pedro II, the film recounts the story of Fernando Diniz, Adelina Gomes and Carlos Pertuis who, through highly expressive paintings, establish a bridge between its most intimate interiors and the most acute reality. The documentary was divided into three episodes: Em Busca do Espaço Cotidiano (about Fernando Diniz), No Reino das Mães (about Adelina Gomes) and A Barca do Sol (about Carlos Pertuis).
