Tom Wingfield returns to the dilapidated apartment where he once lived with his mother and his crippled sister Laura and reminisces about their days together.

But all that time he dreamed of escaping their squalid existence and experiencing his own freedom -- which he eventually does. His mother and sister, however, remain trapped forever in their own fantasies and memories of the past. [More]
