I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

The film follows a mentally ill teen, Deborah Blake (Kathleen Quinlan), who struggles between fantasy and reality, escaping to her own imaginary world. After a suicide attempt, she lands in a mental institution, where the hostile environment threatens to destabilize her condition even further. It is only through the focused attention of the sympathetic Dr. Fried (Bibi Andersson) that Deborah is gradually able to distinguish between dreams and reality again.
