Um Anjo À Minha Mesa

The film tells, in a sequence of interconnected, impressionistic living tableaux, the story of Janet (Kerry Fox), a writer who, at 23, was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and endured a long ordeal of psychiatric treatments, even coming close to undergoing a lobotomy around the time she released her first book (a collection of short stories). This was only averted when it became known she had won the Hubert Church Memorial Prize, one of the most prestigious literary awards in her country.
