"Vincent, un veterano de guerra, regresa a Maryland, su ciudad natal, y se pone a trabajar como terapeuta ocupacional en un centro psiquiátrico privado para ricos. Allí, conoce a Lilith, una encantadora joven esquizofrénica, cuya frágil belleza cautiva a todos los que la conocen. También Vincent se queda prendado de ella y será capaz de mentir y de traicionar con tal de no perderla; pero sin darse cuenta llega a una situación en la que ya no es capaz de distinguir la locura de la cordura. Una película sobre las personas con problemas psicológicos"@es
"The shifting involvement of a trainee therapist with a schizophrenic young woman is a reworking of the legend of Lilith, a female devil who, according to ancient Jewish mythology, is simultaneously the embodiment of madness and beauty. In the film Lilith fascinates and humiliates Vincent and uses him as an accomplice in a lesbian affair. Rossen was interested in the relativity of the notion of adjustment and the relationship between madness and the creative imagination. Lilith has moments of lucidity which place her between two worlds. Vincent becomes obsessed with the fear of losing her when she finally crosses over. He feels the passage of time in a terrible morbid way.DVD."
