SYNOPSIS

In a society where everyone is medicated to ensure happiness and compliance, Norman, a former professor, starts doubting the utopian reality presented to him. As he weans off the national mood-stabilizing pills, he's haunted by visions of a totalitarian dystopia and his own past atrocities. Trapped in a chilling ambiguity, Norman—and the audience—are left to wonder: Is he discovering a suppressed societal horror, or is his unraveling mind creating a terrifying illusion?
