Mastemah

Mastemah delves into current French psychiatry, and then it twists this with a supernatural element and questions of mysticism.

The main character Louise is a psychiatrist who experiences a painful outcome from a hypnosis session, leading her to practice in a rural village setting. It is here that a local, Théo, who claims that hypnosis is the only thing that will relieve the psychic pain he has from intrusive images and dreams.

What follows is an uncertain and obfuscated story, leading us toward what outcome we don't know. Even at the end, are things as resolved as they somewhat seem?

Intriguing, and enthralling, this quiet village setting questions what Hell we may have here on Earth or what madness we may have inside ourselves. Either way, bring a decent bottle of Claret.
