    • Synopsis
    • In recent times there has been a growing and silent progress of panic attacks in a high percentage of the population. These are acute attacks due to dyspnea, tachycardia, paralysis, depersonalization, fainting or agoraphobia. It is the invasion of an irrational fear of death. The feeling of vulnerability is absolute and secret. The state of alertness and terror is constant. Death does not come, but its cold presence. In search of the causes of this phenomenon, this documentary essay analyzes testimonies of patients and the impact on the human mind of the culture of fear and the society in which we live. So too, as the mass media, the technology and the current way of life, affects the horizon of perceptions. It's a horror film. Sensory and poetic images, lead the audience into a mind with panic attacks.
