Siento que visualiza de una forma muy correcta estos trastornos y eso fue lindo, parece estar bastante infravalorada

While it may devolve into predictability (and a naff musical number involving mental health patients), ‘The Drummer and the Keeper’ is an amusing and moving journey that celebrates the conditions of its characters rather than humiliate them.
