In this depressing melodrama, Iris (Monique van de Ven) runs away to the big city on her 18th birthday. She moves in with a successful architect and is content to keep house for a while, but she soon grows restless and decides to become a veterinarian. With an inheritance she purchases an existing clinic in a jerkwater town. Iris is leered at by the men and scorned by the women of the backwoods region. Practical jokes and malicious gossip eventually lead to violence. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi
