When a student enters Harvard with a mental disability, he or she is required to submit documentation to prove their illness.

...this fictional recreation of her life, Ida, played by Giovanna Mezzogiorno, is shoved into the shadows of secluded homes and mental hospitals as everyone around her insists that she forget the past and the father of her child. Mezzogiorno delivers a stunning performance, masterfully portraying the desperation of a scorned lover. Her obsession with her imagined marriage to Mussolini (Filippo Timi)—a problem first and foremost because he was already married with children before his affair with Ida—is second only to her resolve that she hasn’t imagined anything and is justified...
