'Maraquita' explores one woman's false incarceration in an Australian mental hospital, as remembered by her son Tony. Maraquita spent 22 years of her life in Sunbury Asylum on a diagnosis that was later to be found incorrect. She was separated from her five children and subject to experimental treatment without consent. Now, fifty years later, Tony re-visits the asylum where he first met his mother and tells both her story of injustice and the lasting impact it has had on his life.
