β¦ Synopsis
A true and eloquent story of psychosis from the inside.Β The secret service gradually infiltrates the lush life of May-May, an ambitious scientist and mother to a young boy. Her world falls apart when she is forcibly admitted to a mental hospital, where she is diagnosed with schizophrenia. May-May seems to be living in two worlds: the normal world where everyone goes about their day-to-day lives, and another world - the world of the secret service. It is during this period of her life that her mission arises, which she still pursues to this day: achieving world peace. With the love and help of her family, the support of caregivers in the mental health sector, and by following her calling, May-May eventually recovers. She now wants to contribute to "A World in Which All Children Can Play". This is an autobiography that gives insight into the working of the human psyche.
