After 140 years, there are alternatives to an asylum. Leaving Romero closely follows the experience of deinstitutionalization, focusing on the lives of the users and those who are the driving force of this process: the young people who make up the Movement for Deinstitutionalization in Romero.

Miguel Ángel Molfino is 65 years old and a writer. In his youth, he was committed to the revolution. The Argentine civil-military dictatorship tortured and imprisoned him. His entire family experienced the tragedy of exile, kidnappings, and death. In prison, writing became his lifeline. What is said and the silences, the power of the word, is what this documentary explores.
