The Resocializing Center at the Neuropsychiatry Hospital 'Alexandru Obregia' is a more or less Utopian attempt to reinstate the mentally ill back into the 'system', into society. Beyond the succes or the failure of this attempt, the emotional memory keeps the inner poetry of some personal worlds - as a way to survive in a chaotic and absurd reality - and, in the end, the relativity of the 'normality' concept.
