Girl, Interrupted Plot and Cast
Set against the social upheaval of the late 1960s, Susanna Kaysen's prescribed "short rest" from a psychiatrist she met only once becomes a strange journey into an Alice's Wonderland-like institution. There she grapples with the fragile boundary between sanity and madness, discovers how difficult it is to leave once committed, and must ultimately choose between the world of those who belong inside and the harder world of reality outside.
