One in ten people hears voices. The film follows five individuals and their voices – some protective, others threatening. Revolutionary therapy helps them gain insight into their minds, accept themselves, and confront the trauma.
One in ten people hears voices. The film depicts five people living with this experience – one hears a single voice, another hears nineteen. Some voices are protective, others want to harm. Off-screen, a psychiatrist talks with the participants about their voices. Who are these people, and what do their voices truly want? We witness how a revolutionary therapeutic approach allows patients to gain a deeper understanding of their minds and accept what is happening within. Voices do not reveal themselves easily – during several sessions, trauma directly linked to their appearance emerges. Above all, the film paints a compelling group portrait – of both the individuals and their voices – showcasing the extraordinary world of the human mind.
