Synopsis

​

Can trauma be passed down generations? Is reincarnation possible? The film encapsulates an artist’s quest to understand the roots of her schizophrenia, find creative ways to come out of the nightmare of her mental illness, and perhaps seek catharsis through the process of the making of the film itself.
