Edith's Diary
When Edith Howland's husband abandons her for a younger woman, leaving her with their alcoholic son and his senile uncle, she begins recording details of an imaginary, much more successful life where she has friends and grandchildren. However, this diversion soon grows unhealthy when she becomes slowly convinced that the fantasies are real.
Directed by Hans W. Geißendörfer
Written by: Hans W. Geißendörfer, Patricia Highsmith
Produced by: Rolf M. Degener, Willi Segler, Luggi Waldleitner
