Toc Toc is a 2017 Spanish comedy film directed by Vicente Villanueva, starring Rossy de Palma, Paco León, Inma Cuevas, Óscar Martínez, Alexandra Jiménez, Adrián Lastra and Ana Rujas and distributed by Warner Bros.[2] The film portrays a group of patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The film's title is a play on words in Spanish, with “toc” being both the onomatopoeia for “knock” and the abbreviation for OCD in Spanish (trastorno obsesivo compulsivo).[3] It is the film adaptation of a French play by Laurent Baffie.[4]

The film was shown during the summer of 2018 as part of the Cine de Verano in Sevilla, Spain.[5]

Plot

A group of patients with OCD, each thinking they have an appointment for a private session with a famous psychologist, arrive to find others have appointments at the same time and that the doctor is delayed. While waiting for the doctor to arrive they get to know each other and, finally, decide to do their own group therapy session.

The session is successful insofar as all the patients feel they have briefly overcome their compulsions and can build on that success. They agree to meet once a week on their own to continue working together. At the end it is revealed that one of the "patients" is actually the doctor. As the credits roll we see each of the patients making progress as they live their lives.
