"A young woman suffering from schizophrenia is institutionalized by her parents. Through the nurturing therapeutic practices of an unusually sympathetic doctor, she is forced to confront her mother’s complicity in her illness. Within Loach’s fierce indictment of Britain’s woefully unenlightened, callously indifferent mental health care system lies a humane portrait of a shattered family." (the Lost Childhood, 2000 Press Release)
