Documentary about a seemingly normal woman in her early twenties, who has been plagued by mental illness for years. At times, her reality is not ours. What are her experiences and perceptions?
Mies, in her early twenties, seems an average woman at first glance. When she is fine, she opens up to the outside world, but this can all change within seconds, when the voices inside her head take over. This documentary zooms in on the experiences and perceptions of this young woman, who is mentally ill and sometimes confined for months to the closed section of a clinic. Will she ever be able, like other people, to shape her own life? Or is it impossible to escape the voices and thoughts in her head?
