Susan Sarandon and Helena Bonham Carter Team for Film

Rolf Schuebel will direct the film, which was written by Marc Bruce Rosin.

The story centres around the character played by Sarandon, Eleanor, a patient at a psychiatric institute.  She hires Colette (Bonham Carter), an attorney, to represent her in a legal battle against the hospital which has been prescribing psychiatric drugs.  During the process, the two women form a special friendship.

Production on the project is set to begin next spring in San Francisco and the north of Germany.
