Ellen, a renowned harpsichordist, leaves the psychiatric clinic and longs to return home to her husband Basil and resume her music. A bad feeling overcomes her as she says goodbye. At home, trivial events fuel her anxiety: she seems to have lost her memory and her sanity is wavering, but those around her act strangely. Conspiracy, paranoia or manipulation?
