Synopsis
Three contemporary female dancers and three women diagnosed with mental disorders share the creative process of a choreography that explore the line between normality and madness. They stay together in a house in the Basque Country to attend rehearsals together and discover what a psychiatric diagnosis implies. They talk about drugs side effects, delusions and suicide. But also about loneliness and friendship. Without prejudices. In a human journey that breaks taboos about madness.
