Ulrich Thomsen stars as Dr. Jozef Brenner, a morphine-addicted medic plagued with writers block in this intense and harrowing period drama. After the conflicted doctor meets the deeply disturbed patient Gizella (Kirsti Stubo), the two begin a dangerously codependent affair which drives them both over the edge.
