Nise: The Heart of Madness Page #2

Synopsis: A miracle happened in Brazil on the 1950's. Renowned modern art museums opened their doors to artists nobody ever heard of. Many critics pointed out that theses exhibitions revealed painters that should be ranked amongst the best brazillian artists of the century. It was written that this explosion of art and beauty was a sign that something comparable to the renaissance was happening in Riio de Janeiro. Behind this miracle there was no art academy, patron or dealer, only a psychiatrist, ridiculed by her colleagues, and a painting studio at a mental hospital, in the outskirts of town. The artists were schizophrenic, poor, hospitalized for several decades, abandoned by their families and hopeless according to their doctors. This film tells the story of this "Miracle" and the life of this rebellious, frail and engaging psychiatrist: Dra. Nise da Silveira.

Eugnia, does this woman

always sleep like this?

I don't know, but she hasn't

got out of bed for two days.

Clean this patient.

Adelina.

Why didn't you go

outside?

Sorry, are you feeling all right?

Any pain?

She is pretty, Adelina.

Is she yours?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

- I wanted to know...

- Get out.

Get out, demon.

Get out.

Calm down, Adelina.

She is violent, doctor.

- That's enough.

- This has to dry out.

What happened to him?

Another nutcase beat him up.

Some drooling animal.

He is in the cell again.

- Cell?

- Yes, he's always there.

If he's out,

he could kill someone.

Get out of here.

Lucio, would you lend me that cloth?

You know what this is?

A ball for us to play with.

Shall we play a little?

Lucio.

Lucio, over here.

Let's play ball, Lucio.

Look.

Hey you,

please help me.

Sorry, I can't come down.

It's not safe for you

to be there.

- What's your name?

- Almir.

Weren't you ever a kid, Almir?

Yes.

So come down here

and play with us.

Just a second.

Let's play a little bit,

have some fun.

Great.

It's mine.

Calm down.

Relax.

Goal!

It should be simple.

You have an entire

sector to manage

and you meddle with

other people's affairs.

The poor guy was in

solitary confinement for two days.

He is psychotic and very aggressive.

He just needs to be treated

like a human being.

Nise, you have no idea,

he is very violent.

Dr. Nelson, do you know

what could be a good idea.

Doctor, where is that form?

Where do I sign?

Octvio, you can't do that.

Let him do it, Ivone.

Almir, how are you?

- Good morning.

- Good morning. Sit down.

Excuse me.

Doctor, I can see that you are

shaking things up around here.

You know that I'm interested

in fine arts.

Really?

So I've decided to ask you

if you wouldn't be interested in

having an art studio here.

An art studio?

It would be great.

But we don't have money.

No one cares about this sector.

You already have people

to work here

and I can try to get some

materials for us to start.

- Why are you bringing him here?

- They told me to.

So anything goes here now, eh?

Is he medicated?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Lucio...

They told me to bring

him here. He's calm now.

Lucio, how are you?

He's hurt, my God.

Let's try to find something

interesting tor you to do.

Fernando.

How are you feeling?

How are you feeling?

Do you want to go to my office,

to take your mind off of it

and get some rest?

Easy, easy.

Look at this.

I don't believe it!

What is this mess?

What the hell is this?

What's the matter?

This is sh*t.

He does this

with his own sh*t,

and I'm the one

who has to clean it.

Clean it, then.

It is your job, after all.

Unbelievable.

Adelina?

Adelina?

Did you make that doll?

Let's go for a walk?

Good morning, Adelina.

- Now the fun can start.

- Let's get to work then.

Right now.

Do you want to do a little painting?

Pedro?

We have gouache and oil paints.

Want to paint, Octvio?

Want to paint, Carlinhos?

Just for inspiration.

Ivone, leave her.

Carlinhos, I am Carlinhos.

Come here.

Doctor.

There is a patient here painting another.

Listen.

Lima, Ivone and Almir.

From now on, let's avoid

the term patient.

We are working for these people.

We are the ones

who have to be patient.

They are our clients, clear?

Clients?

I was saying

that there is a client that is

painting another client.

I don't know if it's toxic.

You said not to interfere.

Exactly Lima,

leave them alone.

That's beautiful, Raphael.

Ivone,

He needs to be cleaned again.

Get out.

I'm going to get you.

I will catch you.

Get out of there.

I told you to behave.

What's going on?

Let him go.

Let him go now!

He's an animal.

I'm telling you

to leave him alone.

I will not tolerate

violence here.

This is the last time.

I told you he's trouble.

Mario?

I'm coming.

Don't let me get old here.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday,

dear Nise...

Here you are.

It was translated

to French.

Carl Gustav Jung.

Let me borrow your glasses.

That's it.

Choose where you

want to paint.

What's wrong?

Isn't that beautiful?

When Carlos was committed

he said he saw God

in the sun rays that reflected

in his room's mirror.

He wanted everyone to see

what he was seeing.

Do you know that, in many

Eastern religions,

the golden flower symbolizes

the presence of God

Jung says that the psyche,

just like any other living organism,

has the potential to

reorganize, self-heal,

that manifests itself

in circular figures.

So we can conclude that

his attempt to reorganize

happens through his mystical side.

- At least for now...

- Marta.

How are you?

Doctor, this is Marta.

She's a friend of mine who's also an artist.

She wants to start

an internship here.

Almir said that the artwork

is great and I would love to see it.

Give me

that book, Ivone.

I'm going to lend you these books.

When you've read both

of them, we'll see.

But for now, you can sit down.

Can you stay with us too, Ivone?

- Yes, Ma'am.

- Excellent.

Raphael Domingues.

He started working

when he was 14

right after his dad

abandoned his family.

The first symptoms started

around that time.

Then he started

hearing voices,

seeing shadowy figures, having

thoughts about alienation,

persecution and lack of control.

He was committed

when he was 19.

He's 25 now.

I was talking

to Raphael's mother

and she gave me

these drawings

that he did

when he was 13.

Beautiful.

He used to work as an illustrator

he even won awards.

Now he only draws these scribbles.

My dears,

today is a special day.

That's why I want

each one of you

to choose an outfit

that you think is very pretty.

Who's going first?

Did you pick an outfit?

To put shoes on,

you need an outfit.

Pick an outfit.

You can't wear a dress.

Are you going

to wear panties too?

- Are you a woman?

- What?

You are a woman.

Grab my dick

and see if I'm a woman.

Grab my dick.

- Stop it, Octvio.

- Grab my dick.

- Grab my dick.

- Stop it.

Let's make a line here.

That's great.

Let's go.

- Shall we go?

- Yes.

Slowly.

Wait for your friends.

Slowly.

Doctor!

I took the liberty

of inviting someone else.

I saw in his eyes that

he wanted to come.

No one will miss him.

What's his name?

- Emygdio.

- Sit down, Emygdio.

It's ok, Ivone,

they are not kids.

But they are going everywhere.

That's what I want, they

never get to spread out.

Today is for going wherever you want.

Who's there?

Who's there?

Emygdio,

I want to ask you a favor.

Can you hold this brush for me?

Thank you.

Now I will ask you

to take some paint

from here to here.

It's looking good.

Put some white over here.

Mix the white with blue.

The green looks nice.

That mountain looks great.

Doctor, I won't teach

anyone how to work.

Get her something

to do.

All right, Carlinhos.

Marta, come here, please.

Stay with Raphael.

Do you only draw dashes?

Pay attention to your

drawing, Raphael.

Draw something.
