Le libere donne

Lucca, 1942. After an act of desperate defiance, Margherita is committed to Maggiano by her husband. Here she meets Mario Tobino, a doctor returning from the front who opposes the coercive methods of the institution. While he rediscovers his old love Paola, now a partisan and persecuted, Mario seeks the truth about Margherita: is she really ill or just a victim of violence?
