Alice, a brilliant Irish neurologist who discovers a cure for depression, falls foul of the giant pharmaceutical companies who are determined to crush her. Intertwined with Alice’s story, we encounter four human casualties of depression: Mark, who is secretly in love with his best friend Peter; Kirsti, a student who cannot cope with her loneliness or the dark clouds of her depression; Willem, a Romanian émigré who, troubled by his mental demons, plans to murder his wife; and Father Larry, a troubled Catholic priest who suffers from a dual personality psychosis. Murder, espionage, suicide, and madness ensue, in this dark medical thriller about lost souls and troubled minds.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with writer-producer Gerard Daly and director Ronan O’Leary, hosted by Áine Moriarty (IFTA CEO).
