Tania Bruguera, a renowned Cuban artist, was imprisoned in Havana for advocating freedom of expression in 2015. After her release, she returned to the US and worked with Dr. Frank M. Ochberg, a pioneer in trauma therapy, including PTSD and Stockholm Syndrome. The film captures their intimate and profound therapy sessions, exploring Cuba's surveillance, repression, and politics within government and family structures. These sessions may have influenced Bruguera's decision to run for President of Cuba in 2018.
