entrance (verb). abrasive. (in Italian, with subtitles, or dubbed) about a young man who wakes up in a psychiatric ward.

“Everything Calls for Salvation” is an Italian drama on Netflix (in Italian, with subtitles, or dubbed) about a young man who wakes up in a psychiatric ward. Daniele (Federico Cesari) can’t remember the night before or what prompted this involuntary hold, and he doesn’t think he belongs alongside some of the more ill patients. How is he ever going to make it a week? And why are his parents so mad at him? And why are all the doctors being so abrasive?
