Come with us on a journey to look below the surface and explore inner worlds, with this diverse programme of films exploring darkness and joy. These films shine a light on neurodiversity and mental illness, as well as the tangled and messy mental landscapes inside all of our heads. From animated documentaries about addiction, trauma, survival and forgiveness, to stories about OCD, loneliness, mental struggles and epiphanies, this programme will get your synapses firing and make you think. Let's find some peace of mind.
Totem is a small, family owned Parisian style cafe where Nina, a young waitress is enlightened to the internal conflict going on inside everybody by a mysterious patron, who visualizes this internal struggle in the form of spirit animals – one that represents the “good” in each person, and one that represents the “bad”.
