- While the mentally-ill inmates of the Therapeupic Community of Martutene prepare a performance about the life of Portuguese psychiatrist António Egas Moniz, who developed the surgical procedure known as lobotomy to treat schizophrenia in 1935, filmmakers Jordá and Villazán (who were mental patients once in their lives) reflect on modern psychiatric therapies. The title refers to the chimpanzee Becky, whose frontal lobes were removed by American physiologists John Fulton and C.F. Jacobsen, to modify her aggressive conduct in the 1930s.
- In 1994, Andrés Rabadán gave himself up to the police after derailing three trains and killing his father with a crossbow. They declared him not guilty and diagnosed him with paranoid delirious schizophrenia. He is sentenced to spend 20 years in a penitentiary psychiatric. He goes to hell and back and starts to pick up the pieces of his life, using painting as a way to exorcize his own demons.
