Het verhaal speelt zich af in een psychiatrische inrichting rond 1900 toen de psychoanalyse nog controversieel was; er heersten twee opvattingen: de oude en de nieuwe Freudiaanse therapie. Emilia is een vrouw die een zenuwinstorting krijgt door de dood van haar dochter nadat ze al getraumatiseerd was door de zelfmoord van haar vader zeven jaar ervoor.
Nee, helaas is Cattiva nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
