When Voices Become Obsessions
In the quiet town of Hudson, New York, Greta works as a transcriptionist for Om, a sex therapist whose sessions reveal the intimate secrets of strangers. Among these voices, one stands out-a tall, blonde Swiss woman Greta nicknames "Big Swiss." Flavia (her real name) captivates Greta with her low, distinctive voice and her refreshing resistance to therapeutic jargon. Unlike Om's other clients, Big Swiss refuses to identify as a "trauma person" despite having survived a brutal assault years earlier when a man named Keith broke her jaw and cheekbone. Her directness and lack of self-pity draw Greta in, creating an obsession that crosses professional boundaries. Meanwhile, Greta's living situation mirrors her internal chaos-an ancient, crumbling farmhouse with a massive beehive in the kitchen ceiling and a room heated only by a temperamental woodstove. This physical instability perfectly reflects Greta's emotional state: damaged, requiring constant maintenance, and perpetually on the edge of collapse. As she listens to Big Swiss's therapy sessions day after day, the line between professional ethics and personal fascination blurs dangerously, setting up an inevitable collision between her work life and deepest desires.
