Summary:
The story of a man whose rebelliousness pits him against the head nurse of a mental ward and the full-spectrum of institutional repression. The patients in the mental hospital then rebel against the rule-bound head nurse, whose smiling, unruffled and patient manner conceal her ruthless determination to crush any hint of individuality of spirit in the men in her charge.
