My Word Against Mine
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.
