In 1979, a private investigator named Alice Gould commits herself to a psychiatric hospital in order to investigate the death of a patient. What follows won't come as a surprise if you've seen Shock Corridor (1963) and/or Shutter Island. Oriol Paulo's psychological thriller plays with timelines and our perception of truth, but it is exposition-heavy and way too long at 154 minutes. Based on Torcuato Luca de Tena's 1979 novel.
