In the 1980s, with Brian barely functional under the domination of the unscrupulous Dr. Landy, Brian meets and falls in love with Melinda Ledbetter. As their relationship grows, she observes Brian's crippling subservience to the abusive psychotherapist with growing alarm. Ultimately, she must take action with a love willing to stand up to oppression she cannot ignore.

Lunedì alle 21.35 su Viceland - Adaptation
When successful yet insecure screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Nicolas Cage) is hired to adapt a nonfiction book about a fanatical orchid breeder, John Laroche (Chris Cooper), he is completely stumped. Though on the surface the book is about Laroche's flower-poaching adventures in the Florida Everglades, it's also about the desire to experience passion. This longing plagues the book's author, Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep) and Charlie realises, himself as well. It doesn't help that Charlie's twin brother, Donald, writes and immediately sells a screenplay. When in desperation Charlie decides to use his own dilemma as a framework for the script, he inadvertently sets in motion a chain of events impacting the lives of all the characters. Directed by Spike Jonze.
