Plot Synopsis

Marion (Rowlands) is a middle-aged college professor. She heads the philosophy department of a university and specializes in German existential philosophy. During a summer sabbatical, she embarks to write a book. However, loud construction has begun next door to her office. She rents a small apartment for quiet privacy.

A psychiatrist's practice is next door. Through the vent, Marion hears his sessions with patients. At first she is guiltily hesitant to listen. Slowly she becomes fascinated with the intellectual existentialism of their problems. She's particularly drawn to a young pregnant woman, Hope (Farrow).

The doctor theorizes that in Hope's subconscious, she is sabotaging her own life to gradually deem it worthy of suicide. She's married a man she doesn't love and conceived a child she does not want. These actions delude Hope that she's making positive strides against her depression while creating permanent excuses to blame for it.

Overhearing the therapeutic regression of the psychiatric patients compels Marion to examine her own life. Her parents' austerity and great expectations of her have emotionally crippled her from enjoying life and connecting with her husband and friends.
