Hypnosis, forbidden love, and madness collide in a Spanish asylum haunted by the past.
EXORCISM'S DAUGHTER
When There's No Place Left To Go... YOU CAN ALWAYS GO MAD.
Tania, an asylum patient, is under the doctor's care while suffering raging behavioral effects that follow the death of her exorcised mother.
In this asylum, therapy comes with more side effects than the medication.
Spanish giallo meets psychotronic asylum drama, where exorcism, hypnosis, and forbidden love stir up trouble for all involved. Analía Gadé's Tania isn't just haunted—she's trapped in a world that fears what it can't control, and even the doctors might be in over their heads.
