Shock Treatment

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a world where fame and reality intertwine in peculiar ways, the story follows Brad and Janet, a young couple who find themselves trapped in an absurd live television show. After having navigated their own crazy path during their first encounter with a strange castle, they now face a new challenge in a surreal mental clinic that resembles more of an entertainment show than a treatment center.

As the couple navigates this strange world, they begin to realize that everything around them is a mockery of pop culture and the television programs of the time. The patients at the clinic behave oddly and, at the same time, serve as astute social commentators reflecting the yearnings and conflicts of their own lives. Meanwhile, Janet soon finds herself entangled in the schemes of a seductive and egocentric television character, while Brad struggles to regain control of the situation and their relationship.

With a mix of catchy music, a vibrant visual style, and a peculiar sense of humor, this surreal journey explores themes of identity, media manipulation, and love under the pressure of showbiz. As events unfold, the line between real and fictional becomes increasingly blurred, leading the couple to question not only their relationship but also the meaning of true happiness in a world designed for entertainment.
