With a keen awareness of his mentally ill condition, René Paquot denounces all powers, and especially the practices of psychiatric hospitals, which he compares to those used in slaughterhouses: submission through medication, straitjackets, and extermination by electroshock. This film should be seen as a cry of revolt.
