Khatársis: Reclaim the future
In 2035, psychiatrist Helena Álvarez creates KÁTHARSIS, a groundbreaking AI-powered system capable of reconstructing the exact moment when a trauma was born. Determined to prove that the technology can help others heal, Helena becomes the first human patient to test her own creation. But to validate KÁTHARSIS, she must return to the memory that has defined her entire life: the earthquake in which she lost her father as a child. What begins as a scientific experiment becomes a deeply personal journey that forces Helena to confront an unexpected truth: healing may never have been about changing what happened, but about preventing the past from deciding our future.
