The portrait of an Iranian psychoanalyst who is wrongly imprisoned and her struggle for release takes on almost mythical proportions. Mitra Kadivar lives and works in Tehran, where she is the only psychoanalyst who has a practice. However, due to a trumped-up complaint from her neighbors, she is interned against her will and treated in a psychiatric clinic. Her call for help does not go unheard and the international community is activated through Jacques-Alain Miller in Paris. An intense dialogue with Mitra - and later with her students - eventually leads to the release. Before the details of the story, Jorge León became fascinated by the almost ancient mythical proportions that Mitra's battle takes. A dramatic perspective captured in a hybrid performance.
