Based on true events. On the edges of Las Vegas, 17-year-old Andrew's life is spiraling out of control. Unable to cope with the loss of his father, Andrew's descent into drugs and violence is gaining momentum, and the once promising young man is now headed for self-destruction (in what Variety calls "an especially blistering performance by Monty Lapica"). Andrew's mother (Golden Globe nominee Diane Venora), helpless to control her son and fighting an addiction of her own, refuses to watch idly as her only child destroys himself. As a last resort, she hires a private company to forcibly kidnap and confine him in a locked-down and corrupt psychiatric hospital. As Andrew is subjected to the secret physical and emotional abuses of the program something inside him is re-awakened. He must somehow get free to save what's left of his life, but to do that, he knows he must first face his own demons head-on. Self-Medicated is an extraordinary portrait of redemption and personal triumph over hardship that "packs a startling punch" (Variety). "Raw, unmannered intensity... Self-Medicated is just what the doctor ordered" (Hollywood Reporter). With 39 international film awards, Self-Medicated is the most award-winning independent film of the year.
译文(2): 根据真实事件改编。在拉斯维加斯的边缘17岁的安德鲁的生活正在失去控制。由于无法面对失去父亲的痛苦，安德鲁堕入毒品和暴力的深渊的势头越来越猛，这个曾经很有前途的年轻人现在正走向自我毁灭(《综艺》杂志称之为“蒙蒂 · 拉皮卡特别激烈的表演”)。安德鲁的母亲(金球奖提名黛安维诺拉) ，无力控制她的儿子和战斗自己的毒瘾，拒绝无所事事地看着她唯一的孩子自我毁灭。作为最后的手段，她雇佣了一家私人公司强行绑架他，并将他关押在一个封锁的腐败精神科医院。当安德鲁受到秘密的身体和情感虐待时，他内心的某些东西被重新唤醒了。他必须以某种方式获得自由来拯救他仅存的生命，但要做到这一点，他知道他必须首先直面自己的心魔。《自我治疗》是一部描写救赎和个人战胜困难的非凡作品，“震撼人心”(《综艺》)。“原始的、无礼的强度... 自我治疗正是医生所要求的”(好莱坞记者)。《自我治疗》获得了39项国际电影大奖，是本年度获奖最多的独立电影。
