demens

By Amedeo Astorino
Directed by Bruce Langdon

With Nicholas Barker-Pendree, Sarah Bollenberg, Glen Hancox, Ian Rooney

demens takes you behind the walls of Elysian Fields, a private psychiatric hospital, where not all is what it seems...

Valerie (Sarah Bollenberg) is a victim of incest and fantasizes about being lobotomized. Gabriel (Nicholas Barker-Pendree) is the sadistic nurse who wants to save her soul. Dr. Osmond (Ian Rooney) is the respected psychiatrist tormented by secret desires. Allan (Glen Hancox) is going to be 'cured' of his homosexuality by undergoing electro shock treatment. This is a disturbing and often surreal psychodrama that explores mental illness, sexual abuse, and religious fundamentalism.
