Comments: An extraordinary murder is committed by three women, all strangers to each other. During the trial, their deep-seated rage towards the male-dominated society in which they live stuns the courtroom. The judge appoints a female psychiatrist to study the case, and gradually she comes to understand and sympathize with the three women and to question her own feelings towards men.
