Synopsis
Raed Andoni has a tension headache — one that has lasted generations and isn’t going to end soon. That’s because Raed is a Palestinian living in the Ramallah, where the prospects for a stress-free life are elusive.
While he cannot work and feels very confused, Raed decides to get help and goes to the psychiatry department of the Ramallah hospital.
Fix ME follows Raed through 20 therapy sessions as he tries to cure his unwelcome condition. Next to the consultation room is another room with a one-way glass, which usually allows interns to observe and learn from the therapy sessions.
Raed films his own therapy to allow the audience to enter the psyche of this strange character, a Palestinian cousin of Woody Allen and Nanni Moretti and to discover his world.
The internal terrain of displacement and alienation that is revealed to his therapist and through his daily encounters with friends and family mimics the lived reality of thousands of Palestinians who are themselves displaced from their history and homeland.
