Written by Michael Orrom.

This film examines the plight of the illegitimate, with the co-operation of some of those who can speak authoritatively on the effect on the individual of being born out of wedlock. Every incident is based on an actual case history, but where it is necessary to preserve the anonymity of unmarried mothers and their children faces seen are not those of the real people.

What instinct is it that takes a monk or nun away from the outside world for meditation and prayer? What value to the community are these closed groups of human beings, dedicated to a life of poverty, silence, and contemplation?
Father Triffitt of the Society of St. John the Evangelist and Monica Baldwin who gave up the life of a nun after twenty-eight years discuss the value of the monastic life with A Consultant Psychiatrist.
