This is a film about people whose bodies are inhabited by more than one individual- often by numerous different people. Meet Karen, an esteemed psychotherapist who works with people suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Her challenge is to help these patients,  some of whom are aware of the other persons, others of whom are not. We repeatedly see before our eyes characters morph instantaneously and visibly from one person to another. The Director's incredible access creates this chilling and stunning verité exploration which borders at times on the uncomfortable but always approaches the characters with appropriate respect. Many, including Karen, have secrets to reveal.
