Respiro

Respiro is an Italian film about Grazia, a woman with a capricious nature exhibiting many signs of bipolar disorder. One night while she's within the house, Grazia catches wind that her other family is planning on sending her to a facility in Northern Italy. Grazia's 14-year-old son Pasquale watches over his mother in the interim, putting down a dog that he thinks may be dangerous in the process. This gives Grazia enough time to become inspired and release every dog in their town, enraging the town and forcing Grazia to hide away, with only Pasquale aware of her hiding spot.
