Synopsis: In 1950s England, Stella Raphael, a
restless, beautiful woman, desperately desires to find in romantic love
the one thing that will change everything. When her husband Max, an
ambitious forensic psychiatrist, is appointed Deputy Superintendent at a
high-security psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, Stella
and her young son come with him to live on the grounds. Being in
proximity of madness has a dangerous attraction for this woman; with its
eerie, gothic beauty and endless echoing corridors, the institution
itself seems to draw Stella in. Then she meets inmate Edgar Stark, an
artist confined for murdering his wife in a jealous rage. There is a
visceral connection between the two. Stella finds release and a sense of
herself reborn in Edgar's embrace. Senior physician Peter Cleave, long
in line for the position to which Max has been promoted, watches
carefully as Stella and Edgar bond--"sexual pathology" is his particular
field of interest. The cunning Dr. Cleave is a master observer, one who
especially prides himself on manipulation. Stella is now the center of
attention for three men, each of whom desires to possess her: the
husband, the lover and the doctor. When Edgar escapes the asylum and
their secret affair is revealed, Stella determines to continue on with
her lover, no matter what the cost. What began as a fierce brave step
towards freedom now threatens to bring Stella to other, even more
intense forms of confinement. Having taken the risk, there is no turning
back.
