Mental patients

Mental patients 

Scenes of adult patients performing agricultural work interspersed with footage of children outside in a yard. A woman feeds chickens, a man operates a plow drawn by bulls, and men and women pick lettuce. Lots of shots of the animals. Close-ups of children in a yard, nurses visible in the background. More scenes of patients working ain hay field; some of the men take snuff (tobacco). The children are led out of the building by nurses. Some of the children lie on blankets. A couple of them are naked and their deformed bodies and very thin limbs are visible.
