"Bedlam!" - a reconstruction of Moa Junström's summer in a closed psychiatric ward. Based on diary notes, the film mixes documentary images from inside the psyche with text messages and reconstructions of events. After being slowly broken down by a boyfriend working in the same dementia department as Moa, the situation becomes so desperate that relatives feel compelled to contact inpatient care.
