Electric Malady

Aconite Productions

Synopsis

For over a decade William has been living with a debilitating condition that has forced him to retreat from society and live in isolation, removed from modern technology. Electric Malady is an intimate window into William’s isolated world and a moving depiction of a family, devoted to finding a way to save their son. Isolation is something that we can all relate to now, having lived through strict lockdowns. Many of us struggled, but imagine how much more difficult it would be to be forced into isolation by an affliction that the world does not recognise?
We follow William’s contemporary story, whilst archive clips from William’s own private video diaries and family home movies provide a window into his intricate life journey.
