“There’s such a lot of things that’s true, even if they never really happen”

Tyrannical Nurse Ratched rules the roost at Oregon State Psychiatric Hospital. Her word is final, and more fool anyone daring to argue differently. When Randle P. McMurphy, a swaggering, free-spirited con-man is added to her list of charges, the sterile and repressive atmosphere of the ward is warped.  Beaten down, bullied and shattered into submission by Ratched, the inmates are sceptical of McMurphy’s revolutionary words and actions, afraid to embrace their individuality – buried deep within after years of abusive corrective treatment.  The ugly power struggle which engulfs Ratched and McMurphy is explosive and leaves the residents shaken to the core…

Based on the Ken Kesey classic, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest explores the lives of those who society has disregarded and questions who really governs their future.
