Filmed in a distant documentary style presumably for realism. The film may have provided a touch of inspiration for later films such as Frances starring Jessica Lange.
Sandy Ratcliff plays a disturbed young woman who fails to be understood by the authority figures represented in many ways by her surprised parents and also by the medical/psychiatric staff.
The bleak conversational way in which it is filmed adds to our feeling of helplessness for Ratcliff's character which at times is as mischievous and out of control as Jessica Lange later was in her portrayal of the late Frances Farmer.
