Ce documentaire est inspiré de l'expérience menée par Franco Basaglia, La Psychiatrie hors les murs, à partir de 1968. Constatant l'état catastrophique de la psychiatrie publique en Italie, Basaglia initie une réflexion de fond sur l'origine de la folie et la place des fous dans la société. Il suit le parcours de trois jeunes adultes, sortis de l'hôpital psychiatrique pour mener une « vie normale » en travaillant à l'usine.
Via the New York Times: "This documentary was distilled from a 3 1/2-hour television film Nessuno o Tutti, to make the point that many inmates now in mental hospitals could be released without harm to society, and to their advantage. Both patients -- chosen for their ability to talk before a camera -- and sponsors in the community at large are interviewed to promote the concept of the patients' re-integration into the outside world. Three men (Paolo, Angelo, and Marco -- a mentally handicapped youth) talk to the interviewers about their own perspectives, and while the success of the mentally handicapped working at one plant is illustrated, the implied excesses of hospitals run by the Catholic Church are also discussed. Filming was not allowed inside those institutions."
