Sinopsis:
Soviet Union, 1984: Faced with an illness, Andrei, a meek boy of 11, enters a children’s hospital for a long-term stay. But within the crumbling walls he soon discovers a starved community of patients fearfully operating under the piercing watch of the hospital staff. Here Andrei realizes that illness is just one of the things he needs to survive.
In the crumbling Soviet Union, Andrei, a meek boy of 11, faced with an illness, is forced to enter a children’s hospital for a long-term stay. Typical of the period, this hospital is decrepit, starved and forgotten; a place where food and hot water is scarce and treatments are feared. Under the stern watch of the head Nurse Nikitina, Andrei tries to make sense of his new surroundings. Instantly ransacked by a pack of boys in the ward, he soon discovers the rigid hierarchy that exists between all the patients, and learns that in this hospital nothing and nowhere is safe. Yet as Andrei watches and learns, he begins to understand that the pack is driven not just by starvation or menace, but also by fear. Fear of the cold eyes of Head Nurse Nikitina who strides through the hallways through day and through night. Fear of the severe Doctor Smirnov who is measured and cold, appearing to almost enjoy the procedures he performs on the boys. In these trying conditions, Andrei begins to suspect that illness is just one of the things he needs to survive.
