NotesThe real case of a Los Angeles housewife who develops allergies to household substances turned into an allegory. She also has depression which is initially diagnosed as M.E. She retreats to a spa in New Mexico but her difficulties persist and she retreats further into a sterile igloo. The spa is attacked for over charging people who are ill while at the same time blaming them for their own condition.
