Castel d’Emilio, Italy - The chilly late January fog rises from the streets and wheat fields of Castel d’Emilio, a small hillside village near Italy’s eastern Adriatic coast.
Cold light streams in through Dalila Brancaccio’s bedroom window, illuminating a calendar on the wall from 2018.
That was the year that everything changed for the Brancaccio family - when Dalila, 29, was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa.
“[Time] stopped flowing the way it used to,” says Dalila’s soft-spoken mother Rita, a nurse, as she sits in the family’s living room with her daughter.
Everything became about helping Dalila get better.
