FILM SYNOPSIS

Shuttling between Ireland and the Philippines, this psychological thriller brings together two unlikely women and their work.

Haunted by visions of a tick-infested dog, children’s fashion designer Christine is afflicted with an inexplicable, debilitating illness. One day, Filipina domestic worker Diana turns up to help, bringing with her a promising folk remedy that soon unnerves the family and reveals a repressed truth.

Throughout this skin-crawling thriller, Christine’s and Diana’s lives are intertwined in profound, material ways that go beyond patient and physician. A bewitching allegory for our transnational times, Nocebo asks: how far will we go to heal and expel the kinds of ills buried in the unplumbed depths of the psyche, the body and our societies?
