Synopsis

Nikolaus Geyrhalter observes what goes on in a variety of zones, in conference areas, ORs, patients’ rooms, the disinfection and pathology departments, and the kitchen. As the film visits all these areas, it follows an ingenious principle of a puzzle whose pieces produce an effect only when fully assembled.

A portrait of an institution in which the relationships between processes that are invisible to patients and visitors are shown in all their precision. –geyrhalterfilm.com
