The FreeEssence clinic is a psychiatric facility built in an ancient fort, hidden in the mountains. It carries out cutting-edge studies and research on the human mind, led by the director of the clinic, Edgar, a young and brilliant doctor.
Edgar is away when a certain Bruno Villar, a patient suffering from delirium of identity, arrives at the freeEssence. Patients with this psychopathy commonly identify with historical or famous characters, real or abstract. Villar claims the identity of a certain Julius Vock, a name that says nothing to the doctors of the freeEssence.
The medical team initiates a long series of analyzes while also trying to retrieve information on both the patient and this Vock, thanks to investigations conducted by a friend, a policeman.
Who is Julius Vock? Did he ever exist? Is he the fruit of the patient's mind? What relationship did the two have?
The case becomes complicated when a man arrives at the clinic, Giuseppe Vincedomini, suffering from the same anomalous delusion of identity: he claims to be the real Dr. Julius Vock.
Now there are two subjects who claim to be the same, unknown, person.
The Doctor can no longer delegate. He has to go back to freeEssence. Such a case could lead him to medical-scientific discoveries of absolute importance, perhaps opening the doors to success for him ...
