Full Synopsis

One in ten people hear voices. In this film, we meet five people living with this phenomenon. One person hears a single voice, another hears 19. One voice wants to protect, another wants to kill. The film takes place in a therapeutic setting, with a psychiatrist off-screen leading a conversation with patients about their voices—and with the voices, too. Who are they?
