In a psychiatric hospital, the talented and charismatic actress Elisabeth Vogler finds herself in a state of sudden mutism following a performance that pushes her to the brink of emotional collapse. The doctors decide to move her to a quieter place in an attempt to understand her silence. There, she becomes the patient of a nurse, Alma, who takes care of her and monitors her. The relationship between the two women begins to develop in an intense and unexpected way.
While Elisabeth remains mystical and distant, Alma starts to project her own insecurities and desires onto her patient. As the days go by, locked in the house, the power dynamic between them transforms: Alma begins to idolize Elisabeth, while Elisabeth seems to seek more and more lightness and emotional connection through silence. However, as Alma delves deeper into Elisabeth's mind, her own identity begins to blur, creating a spiral of confusion and surprising revelations.
Exploring the fine line between admiration and obsession, the boundaries of reality fade, leaving the audience in a psychological game that explores the nature of being, solitude, and desire. In this extraordinary journey, each becomes a reflection of the other, raising unsettling questions about identity and the meaning of communication.
