Placebo

Following the death of her father, Nicole Williams (18y) is forced to radically change her life. To escape the painful memories of their old home, Nicole and her mother relocate to a new and unfamiliar city to start their life again.

At her new school, Elysian Springs High School, mental health is treated as a social taboo. Ignored by teachers and classmates, Nicole’s fragile mind begins to deteriorate, fracturing her perception of reality.

Through emotional triggers, she is pulled into “Mental Spaces”, distorted nightmares that physically manifest her mind. To survive, Nicole needs to gather the necessary items from that space and confront her depression with them
