In this 50-minute documentary, filmmaker Clea Martin Vargas highlights the plight of people suffering with dissociative seizures, also known as Non Epileptic Attack Disorder (NEAD) or Psychogenic Non Epileptic Seizures (PNES).

Through their testimonies and the thoughts of leading specialists (including Professor Markus Reuber), the film seeks to uncover some of the mysteries around this baffling and misunderstood condition.
