The work explores the lives and experiences of the mentally ill within the context of a psychiatric hospital in Portugal, revealing the nuances of human behavior and the impact of societal norms on perceptions of sanity and insanity. The opening of the work introduces us to the environment of Rilhafolles, a mental institution, painting a vivid picture of its gardens and the people within. The author contrasts the vibrancy of nature outside with the somber atmosphere inside, where individuals display various forms of mental illness, from melancholic reflections to whimsical behaviors.
