Welcome to the Quiet Room
is a Japanese comedy drama film released in 2007 in Japan, directed by Suzuki Matsuo.
Plot
Asuka Sakura (Yuki Uchida), a twenty-eight year old moderately successful freelance writer with a hectic and stressful life filled with deadlines and demanding editors, suddenly awakens to find herself restrained in a white room in a psychiatric ward with no memory of how she got there. A nurse reveals that Sakura has been in a coma for three days following a suicide attempt after which she was discovered and brought to the hospital by her live-in boyfriend, Tetsuo (Kudo Kankuro), who found her unconscious. When Sakura asks about leaving the hospital, she is informed that the decision is up to her doctor and caregiver, as it is believed that she was at risk of committing suicide. She argues that she didn't intentionally try and commit suicide, and that she should be released as she has a looming deadline for work, but the doctors are unconvinced. Moreover, Sakura learns that to be released Tetsuo must give his approval first as he has had her committed to the institution believing she had tried to kill herself.
