Au XIX siècle, un journaliste enquête sur un certain Dr Maillard et son "système apaisant" censé apporter de nouvelles solutions sur la folie. En visitant l'asile de fous du médecin, il va découvrir que rien ne semble être ce à quoi il s'attendait...

Terror, transsexualism, and an eternal cult film. What is on the mind of horror film director Juan López Moctezuma and his fans, Manolo and Lalo, who are not only obsessed with the Mexican horror film 'Alucarda', but also believe in their hearts that they are its true characters? After finding the director in a psychiatric hospital, they kidnap him to make him remember his gloriously twisted past. An unclassifiable documentary film that uses interviews, stock shots and recreations of a past that may only have existed in the nightmares of its protagonists.
