Here is the story of H, a mild-mannered, middle-aged man who is seeking a second chance at life after having spent some time in a mental institution.
In reading about new advances in the clinical treatment of mental illnesses, Ho Tzu Nyen came across a report of an experimental therapy in which dysfunctional families were recorded with video, and later made to analyze their own behaviours and relationships.
“This idea filled me with both a sense of excitement —in the therapeutic possibility of film — as well as a sense of uneasiness, which cannot be easily expressed in words.”
Framing this groundbreaking experiment are elements of a love story and a moving tapestry of accounts from the patients, set within an institution.
