EKSTASE is a montage of scenes from various European silent films. Based on similar settings and gestures, it explores the stereotype of women on the verge of insanity. Reaching its peak in an eruption of hysteria, the film displays the women as captives in a continuous cycle of symptoms, diagnosis and treatment.
