Franco Mastrogiovanni is a 58 year-old elementary teacher. According to his students, he is the tallest teacher in the world: His 1.90’ centemeters of height make him seem like a giant. Mastrogiovanni is also an anarchic, ended up in jail once and was in a mental institute for some time. And yet, for those who know him, he’s a calm type. On August 4th 2009 he dies after receiving involuntary treatment. Ten years since then, the doctors and nurses responsable for his death have all been sentenced. The show delves into the complex relations between cure and detention, health and madness.
