Louise’s Garden

18-year-old Louise, a girl treated psychiatrically for some time now, lives in an imaginary world full of fairy-tale creatures and unreal characters. Her nouveaux rich parents unable to accept this oversensitivity put her on a psychiatric ward. Here, Louise meets Fabio – a gangster who tries to get the papers proving his fake mental illness so he can safely kill a higher-rank police officer. Only Fabio will show her understanding and kindness. Their simple acquaintance will turn into a deeper feeling challenged by the world around.
