Episode synopsis
Nico is under sedation and, while sleeping, goes over some traumatic events that led her to be bullied. The boys visit her and talk to her continuously while she is prey to her hallucinations. Reliving the traumas, however, triggers a deep need in her mind: she must get out of the clinic, and she must do it with her friends.
About Mental

After a hallucinatory episode, she is taken in charge by a psychiatric clinic with the diagnosis of schizophrenia and there she meets Michele, Emma and Daniel. The four boys form a group and face together a difficult, but fundamental, path towards self-knowledge and self-acceptance.
