Arguments
Ron Coleman and his wife Karen Taylor welcome in their home people from all over Europe. Their guests hear invasive voices commenting on their thoughts and their daily actions. Together, they discuss the impact these voices have on their lives and social identities, leading each one of them to confront their voices.

The characters in this film hear voices and are clinically described as “schizophrenics”. Psychiatry sells us, they say, the story of a sick soul. Trying to overcome this self-stigmatising verdict, they help each other. Grasping these inaudible voices requires a supreme collective effort. Case by case, using simple words, taking their time and arguing, the voices are revealed to our ears in this film enhanced by the sound recording and headphone listening. “The voice becomes me”, says one person, “I am here now”, says another. This attentive film listens carefully and also contains some incredibly poignant scenes of live dialogue.
