Anna, une adolescente de dix-sept ans, fille d'un riche ingénieur suisse, est affectée de troubles mentaux particulièrement graves : autisme, hallucination, régression infantile. Après de nombreuses thérapies, toutes plus inefficaces les unes que les autres, Anna est confiée à M Blanche, une psychothérapeute qui refuse le titre de médecin et ambitionne de la soigner sans recourir aux traitements traditionnels. Grâce aux dessins d'Anna, M Blanche parvient à comprendre ce dont souffre sa jeune patiente car la fonction symbolique est extrêmement développée chez des sujets atteints de schizophrénie. En réalité, Anna a été privée d'amour maternel et vit murée dans un dédale de censures intérieures qui l'empêchent de participer normalement à la vie extérieure. Adoptant une méthode faite de patience et d'amour, surmontant les crises et les difficultés, dont la phase la plus aiguë est la tentative de suicide par immersion d'Anna dans le lac de Lucerne, M Blanche parvient à insuffler à l'adolescente de progressives facultés d'autonomie.

Morgan Delt (David Warner) is a failed artist and son of communist parents who own a fish and chips shop in downmarket London. His upper-class wife, Leonie (Vanessa Redgrave), has given up on him and has just secured a divorce in order to marry Charles Napier (Robert Stephens), an art gallery owner of her own social standing. Given the innately rich and personal world of fantasy Morgan has locked himself into, he goes off the deep end. He performs a series of bizarre stunts in a campaign to win back Leonie, including putting a skeleton in Leonie's bed, blowing up her bed as Leonie's mother is on it, and crashing her wedding dressed as a gorilla, for which scene Reisz borrows clips from the original King Kong film to illustrate Morgan's fantasy world.
