Film Synopsis: When a global pandemic hits, JANE (early 30s), a prominent social media travel influencer with an insatiable wanderlust, and her husband JOHN (late 30s), a haughty plastic surgeon, are forced to downsize into a small country home. As Jane struggles to adjust to their new lifestyle, her mental health begins to deteriorate, prompting her to seek help. Despite her best efforts, Jane receives dismissal and shaming from both her husband and male physician, DR. GILMAN (60s). As she continues to spiral, Jane becomes entranced by the contentious yellow wallpaper decorating her home office, her loathing of the pattern progressing into an obsession and belief that a mysterious woman is trapped within the paper—and only she can free her.
A modern adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s, 1892, renowned short story, The Yellow Wallpaper, the short psychological thriller, Papered Walls, explores the misogynistic biases surrounding women and mental health that still exist in today’s society.
