Loosely based on the eponymous novel by Daniele Mencarelli, Netflix’s ‘Everything Calls for Salvation’ (originally titled ‘Tutto Chiede Salvezza’) is an Italian drama series that follows Daniele, a young man who wakes up in a psychiatric ward involuntarily admitted with a group of other patients with distinct personalities. As the memories of his past come in waves, Daniele attempts to learn how to live and love again with his fellow patients, doctors, and cynical nurses of the ward.
The drama show has various instances of comic relief in order to lighten up the profoundness of the subjects explored in the narrative.
