It talks about madness and it shows how mind can create illusions sometimes.
Everything is caused by the disappearance of a woman in a prison-madhouse that is also a small island oblivious to the world. The story is set in the fifties and it begins when two policemen arrive in the island and start investigating the case. The main character is one of the policemen, Teddy, played by Leonardo Dicaprio. He is a veteran of Second War, and because of that he often suffers hallucinations about his past in war and his family. The hallucinations become bigger and bigger, because he eats the madness food (at least this is what he thinks). When they give up and decided to get out of the island, a huge storm prevents them. And the weather almost keeps this way during the whole history.
While they are looking for the disappeared woman, they start receiving a few clues about a mysterious patient that is also disappeared, despite not being registered at the prison. With this situation the distrust in the agents of the prison raises and Teddy starts looking for clues in the whole island without his partner’s help.
Slowly, he loses his minds and stops differing reality from fantasy. Then scary things happen changing the whole situation, soon also the watcher does not differ reality and fantasy. Only at the end of the movie the whole true comes out.
