SYNOPSIS
In an isolated asylum live 12 months a year fifty men who spend their days locked in one floor, with few contact with the outside world, even with the medical team. Each has been committed for different reason: they have mental problems, killed people, or have upset some local officials. But once inside, they share the same empty life, walking along the same iron wire fence courtyard, looking for comfort and human warmth.

PRESS REVIEWS
"An unsparing chronicler of the abused and neglected in his country’s darkest corners."
-- Justin CHANG, Variety
“And ‘Til Madness reveals itself as a love story where kindness on screen goes beyond the one in the eye. A mad love story, as the original title says, where caress becomes mix and then disappearing (…). This tenderness, between the because and the despite is the limite-point of Wang Bing’s cinema, beyond which he cannot shoot anymore because he is too much and staying would be accepting.”
-- Gaspard NECTOUX, Les Cahiers du Cinema
