Plot/Synopsis:

The film concerns two women – an actress and a nurse – who are physically almost identical, and one of whom (significantly the actress) has lost the ability to communicate. Alma, the nurse, appears to be a well-adjusted, thoroughly respectable young woman with an idyllic future mapped out before her. Yet, as the story unfolds, it soon becomes apparent that her normality is merely a surface illusion. Beneath her calm veneer we begin to see something much darker, much more passionate and dangerous. Elisabeth, the silent actress, is her alter ego, perhaps her true nature, the part of her that will not speak.

Whilst performing a stage play, a well-known actress Elisabeth Vogler loses the power of speech. There follows a mental breakdown throughout which she is bed-ridden and unable, or unwilling, to speak. Her doctor sends her to a house by the sea, to be cared for by a young nurse, Alma. The latter becomes fascinated by her silent patient and reveals intimate secrets about her own past. Elisabeth’s unbroken silence soon perturbs Alma’s calm, and the nurse undergoes a strange inner transformation…
