LISTENERS: THE WHISPERING

The film is about psychologist Tuong Minh, who provides psychotherapy for An Nhien, a young female writer with an anxiety disorder. Nhien said that she was obsessed with a certain girl. The strange thing is that the girl she mentioned is the main character in her first novel, The Whispering. Through the process of processing and researching her novel, Tuong Minh gradually realized that what Nhien wrote in the book was not fiction but her real painful memories. Using his professional methods, Minh tries to help Nhien face an unpleasant story from her past. He hopes she can overcome her obsession and start a new life. However, as he went deeper into the treatment process, Minh realized that An Nhien's obsessions were gradually becoming his own obsessions, to the point where he could no longer recognize what was the truth.
