A miracle happened in Brazil on the 1950's. Renowned modern art museums opened their doors to artists nobody ever heard of. Many critics pointed out that theses exhibitions revealed painters that should be ranked among the best Brazilian artists of the century. It was written that this explosion of art and beauty was a sign that something comparable to the renaissance was happening in Rio de Janeiro. Behind this miracle there was no art academy, patron or dealer, only a psychiatrist, ridiculed by her colleagues, and a painting studio at a mental hospital, in the outskirts of town. The artists were schizophrenic, poor, hospitalized for several decades, abandoned by their families and hopeless according to their doctors...
Ao voltar a trabalhar em um hospital psiquiátrico no subúrbio do Rio de Janeiro, após sair da prisão, a doutora Nise da Silveira (Gloria Pires) propõe uma nova forma de tratamento aos pacientes que sofrem da esquizofrenia, eliminando o eletrochoque e lobotomia. Seus colegas de trabalho discordam do seu meio de tratamento e a isolam, restando a ela assumir o abandonado Setor de Terapia Ocupacional, onde dá início a uma nova forma de lidar com os pacientes, através do amor e da arte.
Com: Gloria Pires, Simone Mazzer; Julio Adrião
