In a psychological drama that goes more than half-way in questioning the issue of mental stability, a young intern goes to spend a year in a psychiatric clinic as a part of her training program. Once there, she becomes very closely involved with a patient who lives in constant fear and regularly tries to escape his confinement in this especially drab and institutional place. As the patient and the intern get to know each other better, the line between the sanity of the people on the outside and the mental state of the inmates begins to blur.
