影片聚焦苏格兰精神病专家罗纳德·戴维·莱因(R. D. Laing)，他对患有精神障碍病症的患者采用了多种勇敢大胆的治疗方式，在60年代获得了极高的赞誉。他创造了将麦角酸酰二乙胺融入实验中、最终形成一种名叫“Metanoia”治愈形式的革新方法，在当时的医疗界引起轩然大波及无数论战，也彻底地改变了人们看待心理健康问题的观念和态度。
来自网友【粼修】的评论Dr. Laing 说的每句话都觉得戳心，every word so so so freaking makes sense!!! so much from the irresponsible people/crowd/everyone who are all trying to cover the not-understood things with a mask and not see them any more... He understands or tries to, so he cures or reaches. They are not mad, they are just trying to finish and overcome their things in their ways which cannot be understood by others (who cares how others find the way, they only care solutions), they are trying to solve instead of running away and forgetting... That place is right there just giving them time and space, patience and understanding to sort all things out by them. The things can only be solved/settled by them... The others who force...are ignorant and do not know about the brain functioning and hence violent, the unknown makes them angry and insecure, so they treat them like that: against willingness and making them silent to behave as a 'robot'. Anji说她感受不到Rony的爱，说这个屋子是个mad house了。甜蜜的欲望吸引人，甜蜜欲望后的困难让人反叛。她食言了。她满足了她的欲望，that's all. 现在的感受感觉可能写出来的也是片面的，不，应该不是的，这只是一大块中少见的一小块所以觉得片面，但是是事实. very true.
