Buttercup

In 1970s Finland, student activist Onerva is sent to a psychiatric institution against her will. Are the women sent to this island there to be silenced, or are they actually mentally ill? As Onerva grapples with her own sanity, her treatment begins to blur her perception of reality. From Walter Presents, in Finnish with English subtitles.
