About This Film
A new doctor, Rafael Alba, who was assigned at a women’s asylum. He wanted to prove that hypnosis can cure mental illness and he focused on a woman who was suffering from childhood trauma, Tania. As he conducts his experiments, they slowly fell in love with each other. Much to the dismay of the townspeople, they did not believe in hypnosis and considered it as witchcraft. Aside from the obsession of the asylum president and how the caretaker tortures the women, the fact that nobody wanted to believe in hypnosis as a cure led to Doctor Alba being sent away without finishing his sessions. Tania was left hopeless in the asylum still seeking for her freedom.
