Beatrice is a motor-mouthed fantasist, a selfstyled billionaire countess who thinks she’s on intimate terms with world leaders. Donatella is a tattooed introvert, a fragile young woman locked in her own mystery. Both are patients at the Villa Biondi, a progressive but secure psychiatric clinic.
Like Crazy tells the story of the unpredictable and moving friendship that develops between the two women as they flee the mental institution in search of love and happiness.
