"Behind the Curtain" serves as a poignant exploration of the complexities of mental health, highlighting the importance of empathy, communication, and human connection. Through Kate's story, the film aims to raise awareness about the significance of reaching out to those who may be silently battling their own demons, and the impact our actions can have on someone's well-being. Shown through video calls between the protagonist and friends and family, this movie shows how different various perspectives of the same story can be, how easily subtle signs can be missed, and peeks "behind the curtain" of a young woman struggling with her mental health.
