You Are Not I tunnels into the troubled yet alarmingly lucid mind of a schizophrenic. A young patient escapes from a mental hospital during the chaos of a nearby multiple-car accident.

The sister is confused and angered by the sudden arrival of the psychotic Ethel. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
