The Cobweb

The complex dynamics between a psychiatric clinic's staff and patients are explored, as blurred lines between personal and professional struggles threaten to disrupt the delicate balance of the clinic.

At a prestigious psychiatric clinic, the medical professionals and staff mirror the erratic behavior of their patients. The head doctor, Dr. Stewart McIver, proposes an unconventional therapy where patients design and create new drapes for the library. Meanwhile, his neglected wife, Mrs. Karen McIver, seeks to leave her mark on the clinic, ordering new drapes. This sparks a power struggle with Miss Inch, the long-serving business manager, who perceives the new drapes as an encroachment on her domain. The ensuing drama unfolds as the clinic's staff and patients navigate the chaos of drapery disputes and internal politics.
