Synopsis
Paris. Sainte Anne Hospital. Psychiatric intensive care unit. Patients wander around, wild. Time stands still. Days are regulated by cares. Isolation, consultations, neuroleptics, electroshocks and mental strain are part of the cure. The staff give treatments and carry out everyday life. In this hallway, out of the world, the patient is waiting to regain his freedom. The doctor is struggling against mental illness; an evil beyond him that he is trying to master at all costs.
