From case cover:
Milano, anni 80. Nello (Claudio Bisio) si trova a dirigere una cooperativa di malati mentali, appena dimessi dai manicomi. Si tratta di una sporca dozzina incapace a tutto ma Nello sa scovare i talenti nascosti in questi "scarti della società" e trascinarli alla conquista della luccicante "Milano da bere". Una favola realmente accaduta che diverte e commuove, lasciando nel cuore una contagiosa ventata di ottimismo.

From IMDb:
Set in Italy in the early 1980s the film follows Nello (Claudio Bisio), the recently hired director of a newly developed work cooperative of former mental patients. After the closure of state psychiatric hospitals and asylums in Italy under the Basaglia Law many former patients were left with few resources and little hope of reintegrating into society. With the intention of actually improving the lives of his pupils, rather than just sedating them, Nello encourages them to expand their individual abilities and explore the wider world around them although, regardless of intention, there is sometimes a price to pushing boundaries too quickly. "We can do that" maintains a sometimes troubled, but ultimately unwavering faith in human nature and human potential.
