Description

It is the time immediately following the Great War, returning soldiers are bringing the aftermath of war home with them. For Caitlin, who is one of the first female graduates in psychology and an intern at the Toronto Hospital for the insane. this is a seminal year in which both her professional and her personal life are at a crossroads. Unlived grief needs to be released, relationships re-evaluated, the shape of her future career to be discerned. In her search she is deeply affected by her therapeutic relationship with a young schizophrenic patient and her haunting encounter with a traumatized young lawyer just returned from the war. Events lead her to question her engagement to a fellow psychologist and her commitment to her own vision of what her life might be.
