In the shifting landscape of the late 1960s, Susanna Kaysen’s brief “rest” prescribed by a psychiatrist plunges her into a surreal adventure reminiscent of Alice’s Wonderland. As she navigates the blurry line between sanity and madness, she discovers the challenges of escaping the confines of a mental institution. Ultimately, Susanna faces a profound choice: remain in the safety of the asylum’s oddball community or confront the complexities of reality outside.
