After he steals money from his wealthy father one too many times, the rebellious Franois (Jean-Pierre Mocky, Litan) is forcibly committed to a psychiatric institution. Labelled a delinquent and an arsonist, he endures the dehumanising treatment reserved for societys rejects, and attempts to thwart the archaic methods of the cruel Dr. Varmont (Pierre Brasseur, Children of Paradise). Adapted by Mocky from Herv Bazins shocking autobiographical novel, this poetic and furious debut feature from Georges Franju (Eyes Without a Face) features an all-star cast including Anouk Aime (La Dolce Vita) as Franoiss only visitor, Paul Meurisse (Les diaboliques) in the role of the more modern Dr. Emery, and Charles Aznavour (Shoot the Pianist) as a long-time resident of the institution.
