Behind the Curtain

Sometimes people are not what they appear to be to others. We all put on a show when we go to work, when we meet friends, when we are with family. But when we are alone, we let ourselves fall and drop the act. Shown through video calls between the protagonist and friends and family, this movie shows how different various perspectives of the same story can be and peeks "behind the curtain" of a young woman struggling with her mental health.
