The placebo effect has long enjoyed a notorious reputation. To attribute a cure to the placebo effect, was to consider, with a touch of contempt, that the illness was the product of the mental state of a hypochondriac. If he invented his illness, he could invent his cure. Now, in contradiction to these theories, scientific studies carried out over recent decades show that the placebo effect can result in physiological changes that are both observable and quantifiable. By means of a rigorous investigation this film aims to shed fresh light on a powerful phenomenon that is associated with every medical act, in order to lift the veil on part of its mystery and begin to explore our formidable power for self-healing.

To answer these questions, scientists around the world are conducting research and experiments to examine the mechanisms of the Placebo effect between the human brain and body. But the way these healing molecules are triggered, is highly dependent on non-biological factors, such as words, signs, symbols, and human relationships. This is what the Placebo effect continues to question: the relationship between what biology demonstrates and the use of language.
