Mijn woord tegen het mijne

Maasja Ooms / NL, 2025 / 113 min.

One in ten people hear voices. In My Word Against Mine, winner of the IDFA Award for Best Dutch Film, we get to know five people living with this severe phenomenon. A poignant portrayal of human defence mechanisms.

This film takes us into the world as experienced by people who hear voices. They are all undergoing a groundbreaking treatment that doesn’t seek to supress these inner voices.

A psychiatrist enters into a direct dialogue with the voices. Who are they? Why are they there? What do they want? A revolutionary approach that turns out to open doors for the patients, giving them greater insight into and acceptance of what is going on in their heads.
