Crazy for Football: The Craziest World Cup

In a unique blend of sports and mental health, a team of patients from Italy's mental health departments comes together to form a football squad, guided by a psychiatrist and a diverse group of coaches with experience in athletics.

A documentary film follows the journey of the first Italian national five-a-side team comprising psychiatric patients as they participate in the world cup in Osaka, Japan. The team, led by a psychiatrist, a former football player, and a world boxing champion, balances their health and mental illness on a path to victory, challenging societal prejudice and stereotypes.
