Synopsis | Trip of the Tongue (2012)
Imagine waking up one morning and not sounding like yourself, in fact sounding like someone from an entirely different country. Liam Bartlett has just spent a few fascinating days with three otherwise normal women who have the medical world completely stumped. One day they felt sick, the next they were jabbering away with thick foreign accents. One can now pass for Russian, another has developed a French lilt, and the third sounds Chinese. It's called Foreign Accent Syndrome and it's a condition that's as rare as it is strange.
