Lisa is a woman whose everyday life has been completely thrown off the rails by a psychotherapist's manipulative therapy. At first, she seems exhausted, reserved and insecure. Through the therapist's suggestive techniques, she develops pseudo-memories that concern her own husband and shatter her entire self-image. She shows physical and psychological traces of the manipulation: scars, depressive mood, inner turmoil.

Personality:

• Sensitive and reflective

• Emotionally complex: between fear, confusion and anger

• Gradually develops an awareness of the manipulation

• Must credibly portray both vulnerable and strong facets

Acting requirements:

• Expressive facial expressions and body language

• Ability to create subtle psychological tension

• Can credibly deliver dialog with suggestion, reaction to psychological manipulation and flashbacks
