Synopsis of Talk To Me
Mia is a 17-year-old girl who is still trying to overcome the grief of her mother, who suffered an overdose almost two years ago. On the anniversary of her mother’s death, the young woman decides to meet with her friends, who promise her another night. At a party hosted by Hayley (Zoe Terakes) and Joss (Chris Alosio), Mia, her best friend Jade (Alexandra Jensen) and the young woman’s younger brother, Riley (Joe Bird), are invited to play with a mysterious embalmed hand that allows a ghost to take over the body of a living person.
To do this, you need to hold your hand and say: “Talk to me.” However, the rule is never to let the possession last more than 90 seconds, because there is a risk that the mind will refuse to leave this body. Addicted to adrenaline and hoping to communicate with her late mother, Mia tests the limits of the game. However, it does not take long for the dynamics to have serious consequences for the friend group.
