Examines the lives of women who are living in a locked ward that is within a large institution for people with intellectual disabilities and the effect of deinstitutionalisation on them. The lives of these women in the institution are described largely through their own stories and experiences. Several questions on the understanding of disability are raised. Examines the process of deinstitutionalisation, with its paradoxical discourse of right and wrong.
