What happens

Le libere donne è una serie televisiva italiana diretta da Michele Soavi e coprodotta da Rai Fiction ed Endemol Shine Italy, distribuita in prima visione da RaiPlay e Rai 1 dal 10 al 24 marzo 2026. La miniserie è tratta dal romanzo Le libere donne di Magliano di Mario Tobino (pubblicato da Mondadori Libri) e vede come protagonisti Lino Guanciale, Grace Kicaj, Gaia Messerklinger e Fabrizio Biggio. È ambientata all’interno dell’ex ospedale psichiatrico di Maggiano e racconta le vicende di alcune donne ricoverate nella struttura, esplorando le loro storie personali, le fragilità e il desiderio di libertà in un contesto segnato da regole rigide e stigma sociale.
