My Word Against Mine

(My Word Against Mine)

One in ten people hears voices in their heads. Some of these voices have names, while others remain anonymous. Some want to help, others try to harm. In this unique cinematic experience, these inner voices take shape in front of the camera.

This inventive documentary, set in a psychotherapeutic environment, unfolds as a conversation between a therapist, a group of participants, and their voices. Through intimate and compelling observation, the audience is drawn into a strange space where one must confront not only oneself, but also one or more other voices within. This reality is full of internal conflicts and instructions emerging from the hidden layers of the human mind. The film evokes a moment reminiscent of a séance, offering a rare opportunity to face one’s voices eye to eye.
