These women were not mentally ill, but over time driven mad by their isolation.

A Synopsis of the Gritty Tale – “Angels in the Asylum”
Inspired by true events, “Angels in the Asylum” presents an original account of a group of women wrongfully confined within the walls of a mental asylum. Labelled as typhoid carriers, these innocent women were subjected to long-term isolation, not for any mental ailment but for a disease they carried. This poignant tale is set in the backdrop of London, spanning from 1932 to 1955.
The film intricately spins the narrative around Mary, the only woman who managed to taste freedom from Long Grove Mental Asylum, thanks to her daughter’s relentless eighteen-year struggle. Mary’s story unfolds in a series of vivid scenes that remarkably portray the raw emotions and rigorous trials of her life.
