The House Of Whispers

Permanently Closed - This plunges Olivia into depression. She has no close family, alone, she becomes a recluse in her house. Fred in less than three months leaves Olivia. She has the perfect excuse and takes her other son with him. A few weeks after being left alone, her eldest son, Fred Jr, who is only ten years old, is forced to call the authorities. For more than a week he doesn't hear from his mother. When the police arrive, they find the house in chaos and Olivia locked in little Charlie's room. The room is untouched and she is completely dirty. She assures that she has seen something in her house, He is to blame for Charlie's death, “ He took it”, she does not stop repeating. A few months later she is locked up in a psychiatric institution. Unfortunately for her, Walter Freeman has popularized a new treatment that has been used by the Kenedy family. It claims to combat an "exclusive" disease of women: hysteria. Treatment is ice pick lobotomy. Eight months later Olivia leaves the hospital saying that He has not left her alone, he does not stop following her. Fred is her legal guardian and her husband but she complains that she cannot cover the costs of either the hospital or a caregiver. Also, Olivia is scarred, she can't find a job, the studio wants nothing to do with her, and small animation studios can't have a "hysterical" woman on the billboard. Fred doesn't think about it and asks for a divorce from her. In addition, she takes advantage of the fact that she is not capable of taking care of herself and takes control of her accounts. The one who becomes his salvation is Jacques Tourner. Now a director with some recognition, after "Cat People" and "I walked with a zombie", offers him a unique opportunity, to write his next film. Jacques Tourner wants to make a new horror work, more groundbreaking and terrifying than his two previous works. Recovering his French roots, he proposes to shoot in Europe. However, the study is opposed, they ask for something more exotic and cheaper, something like Latin America. Jacques Tourner fights with the studio and manages to convince them to shoot somewhere in between: Barcelona. At that post-war time, it is much more profitable to shoot in Spain and France is close by. So he can visit his land, now that the war is over. After many attempts, he manages to get Olivia to agree since his position is not much more encouraging, with nothing to eat and being the burden of his little Fred Jr, who takes care of his mother despite being only a teenager. Finally, Olivia arrives in Barcelona with the intention of shutting herself up and writing, seeking inspiration in true stories. Fred Jr. sees it as a new beginning, a new opportunity. But, after a short season, Olivia and Fred Jr, disappear without a trace.
