Inspired by the director's personal experiences, "The Forest in Me" deals with extreme psychological situations. The film examines how perception can change under psychosis, addresses social isolation and the social stigmatisation of mental illness. These aspects are linked to questions of environmental activism and show how external and internal struggles can be interwoven.

In this way, the film captures the various stages of psychosis with atmospheric images and shows the complex challenges that accompany such an illness.
