Here is the rephrased text:

In this poignant exploration of grief, acclaimed filmmaker Stella Hopkins brings to the screen "Elyse", a deeply personal psychological drama. At first glance, Elyse appears to be a poised, stunning, and intelligent woman, but beneath her polished exterior lies a labyrinth of pain and turmoil, fueled by Borderline Personality Disorder and Clinical Depression.

As the film unfolds, we follow Elyse as she emerges from a sterile, modernist mansion, devoid of warmth or personal touches. The house serves as a mausoleum, reflecting the desolate spirit of her deceased son, Cody (Griffin Thomas Hollander). After a day spent wandering aimlessly, Elyse returns home fragile and disoriented, unwilling to join the family dinner, which she mistakenly perceives as an immediate threat to her personal life and marriage. Her volatility escalates into a violent outburst, lashing out at her self-absorbed mother, Goldie (Fran Tucker), and rejecting the loving concern from her devoted husband, Steven (Aaron Tucker).

In a moment of psychotic rage, Elyse's delusional thinking and profound narcissism culminate in a devastating tragedy: the involuntary vehicular manslaughter of her young son, Cody, and his nanny, Julia (Julieta Ortiz). As the film progresses, it becomes clear that Elyse is not the only victim; her affliction gradually annihilates her husband, Steven.

Memory and hallucination intertwine to expose a history of trauma, revealing the painful truth: Elyse's psyche has been ravaged by her experiences, leading to institutionalization in a State Hospital. Her recovery relies on the dissolution of her marriage, the restoration of her relationship with her mother, and the mutual absolution with Carmen (Tara Arroyave), the nanny's daughter.

Ultimately, it is the clinical care of Dr. Lewis (Anthony Hopkins), the Chief of Psychiatry, and the unconditional love from her nurse, David (Anthony Apel), that holds out the promise of a new life for Elyse, one free from the shackles of trauma and grief.
