Film about a group of mental misfits in a way-out-of-this-world sanatorium. Tiller is an alcoholic poet battling madness. Van Eyck, also an alcoholic, is the handsome artist who befriends her. Wieder, however, almost steals the show as the sex kitten nymphomaniac who is also suicidal. (official distributor synopsis)
