Synopsis

Step into the suffocating confines of a provincial Russian hospital ward in the late 19th century. Dr. Andrei Yefimych Ragin finds himself increasingly disillusioned with his medical practice and the provincial life he leads. His intellectual curiosity leads him to engage in philosophical discussions with his patients, blurring the lines between sanity and madness, and challenging the very nature of societal norms and personal freedom.
