Author of one of the major novels of the century, Under the Volcano, Malcolm Lowry fought a winning battle with words, and a losing battle with liquor. On-location shooting in four countries, photographs, readings by Richard Burton from Lowry's novel, and interviews with the people who loved and hated him give the film a terrifying immediacy. More than a portrait, it is a reflection on the greater agony of man.

A psychiatrist turns his back on the system and welcomes a bunch of schizophrenics to a commune where ‘‘anything goes’’... starting with love. The lines begin to blur between ‘‘patient’’ and ‘‘therapist’’, and between the therapist’s professional and private life. ‘‘Normality’’ becomes a relative and constantly shifting notion, as patients are guided toward a new reality. This film demystifies mental illness and shows an approach that doesn’t involve medical treatment, on a commune where free love is a way of life, in a new society free of taboos. Filmed at Abri d'Érasme.
