Чаттахучи (1990)

In 1950s Florida, a troubled Korean War veteran is sent to a "maximum security" psychiatric facility. It's not a place of healing, but a brutal reflection of the war's trauma, where patients endure physical and psychological abuse from staff with unchecked power. The film exposes the harsh reality of mental health treatment in that era, revealing the cruelty hidden behind locked doors and questioning the systemic failures that allowed it to continue. As the veteran struggles to survive, the line between victim and abuser becomes increasingly blurred, threatening his remaining sanity.
