Masha’s unconventional and often controversial methods, including psychedelic therapy, push participants to their limits, forcing them to confront their deepest fears and traumas.
The official synopsis hints at high stakes and psychological tension:
“Over the course of a week, she takes them to the brink. Will they make it? Will she? Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself.”
