Synopsis
In his youth, Spider has been deeply disturbed by the death of his mother and has been placed in a mental hospital to help him over the trauma. On his release he revisits the scenes of his childhood and we are witness to his collection of memories. This could be bleak, austere, and gloomy. Instead it is fascinating, daring and full of performances of enormous strength. A quite remarkable film.
