White light and white heat in her mind.

WHITE HOUSE /
BACK STORY ( VOICE OVER )
THE CHEMICAL BRAIN

Annas life had up until this point been an emotional survival race. The man in her life ended up on an island in Thailand. An alcoholic wreck. She was freed from his influence, but he left her with mental marks she never really could wash away.

The mental tranquillity she managed to find was a work of chemical substances. A legal drug addiction program that kept her phobias at a level she could live with.

When Anna found herself in a hospital bed, she thought it was all over. White light and white heat in her mind. A daughter by her side. A daughter that seemed to live a mirror life of her own. She couldnīt face that. She had no language, no words to communicate.

She could see this from another perspective. From outside of herself. She could see her human tragedy, with no emotions attached. A chemical stare, a forced calm.
