Storyline:  A rebellious young woman is forced into an abortion by her conservative family, triggering a breakdown. Institutionalized and subjected to harsh psychiatric treatment, her condition worsens under the same family that caused her trauma. Based on R. D. Laing’s work, this is a scathing attack on the oppressive, idealized notion of the traditional family.
