It's 1964 and this is Claudia a girl in her twenties and is a patient in a mental unit. Claudia has a very worn-out, 90s grunge vibe about her, with her unbrushed hair, pale skin, hallow cheeks and eyes and her oversized, miss matched fashion choices. As a child she was left alone to develop with little parental guidance and through her relationship with T.V movies developed an unhealthy relationship with Horror films, believing this to be the way life really is. This relationship with horror movies and her distant parents has also impacted the way she has future relationships, making her lash out and have emotional outbursts causing anyone around her and also herself to be possibly harmed. However another big factor of these outbursts are due to an imaginary boyfriend Quentin which is mainly why Claudia has been put into a mental unit. Claudia started to see Quentin when she was in her teens and he has stayed with her since. He only used to appear when Claudia was distressed and needed comfort, however in the recent years Claudia has became madly in love with him and has figured out how to make Quentin stay almost permanently.
All the scenes take place in various parts of the mental ward, including the common room, Claudia's room and work rooms. She is diagnosed as psychotic due to her creative imaginary of Quentin, but also receives treatment for her antisocial behaviour. She is kept in touch with the outside world by her neighbour in the asylum who is 100% sane but was wrongly accused of a crime 15 years ago.
