In the snow of the Italian Alps a bewildered young woman is found: pale and fragile as porcelain, hypersensitive to daylight and afraid of human contact. She is put under the care of a renowned neuropsychiatrist who soon realizes he is dealing with a very rare and important case. He is convinced that his therapy will bring this woman back into life but instead of improving she regresses even more with only one wish: returning to the place that she calls ‘home’.
Things change when a suicidal patient is brought in. He seems to have a strange spell on the young woman who slowly starts making first steps of socialization. Initially the patient is insensitive to all approaches but her piercing blue eyes awaken distant memories. In fact, they have been haunting him for years.
Then they find the house where the woman had been imprisoned for so long - not by a monster but by a loving parent who wanted to keep the child eternally innocent, far away from the world full of danger and perversities.
Will Porcelain Girl remain stuck in her past or will she find the courage to move towards the present? And in what way is the patient’s life connected to hers? Can they set each other free?
