Proaspăt absolventă de jurnalism și gata să înceapă viața de adult , Susannah Cahalan, în vârstă de 24 de ani, deja pare să aibă totul: slujba ei de vis la New York Post, colegi de treabă și suportivi, un prieten devotat și o familie iubitoare. Apoi, aproape peste noapte, această tânără ingenuă a trecut subit de la unul dintre reporterii cei mai de încredere, la o aparență instabilă și paranoică a sinelui ei anterior. Chinuită de halucinații auditive și pierderi de memorie, medicii au desconsiderat starea ei de sănătate, punându-i un diagnostic relaționat cu petrecerile exagerate și stresul. Dar, pe măsură ce starea ei se înrăutățește, mizele devin mai mari, iar cursa pentru a găsi un răspuns devine o chestiune de viață și de moarte.

A couple whose son had been institutionalized for three years are shocked to discover that the diagnosis was wrong, and that their son is, in fact, deaf.

Mentally ill. Deviant. Diseased. And in need of a cure. These were among the terms psychiatrists used to describe gay women and men in the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s. And as long as they were “sick”, progress toward equality was impossible. This documentary chronicles the battle waged by a small group of activists who declared war against a formidable institution – and won a crucial victory in the modern movement for LGBTQIA+ equality.

Alex, an experienced surgeon, makes a mistake in the diagnosis of his seven-year-old godson. The boy dies on the operating table. Stunned, the man tenders his resignation. One autumn morning he is sitting on the riverbank in a favourite place where he used to fish with his godson. Suddenly he notices the figure of a shapely semi-naked girl emerging from the fog. She is shivering with cold. Alex spontaneously offers his help, and thus becomes part of an incredible adventure story.
