The Bird's Nest
A brilliant, haunting exploration of madness.
Elizabeth is, to all appearances, an ordinary, even unremarkable girl. She works an ordinary job, lives with her aunt, and sustains herself with the money she inherited from her aunt. It’s not until chronic pain leads her to a psychiatrist that it becomes clear that there isn’t only one Elizabeth – there are four distinct personalities at work, each with their own attitudes and goals.
