Friendly Voices

Synopsis

Friendly Voices tells of a psychiatrist's home visit to a patient. It contrasts their different social situations with their all too similar inner selves. Joan is a spinster in her early fifties, living in an upmarket Victorian flat. Alec is a fortyish schizophrenic who occasionally hears voices in his head.
