Seven minutes to break your brain. What if therapy became prosecution?
Maya Mahler never truly existed. Only a part of her did. As she undergoes an experimental form of therapy another side of her begins to emerge. At the same time, a trial unfolds: a therapy provider stands accused of a fatal error. As the narrative shifts between intimate sessions and the cold logic of the courtroom, their connection becomes disturbingly clear. “FREUD” is a psychological drama about trust, prediction, and control. What happens when a system stops treating symptoms and starts eliminating risk?
