Synopsis

The film is a philosophical reflection on pain, the silent companion of our everyday lives, set in the idyllic surroundings of a local spa town. The staff there, who have developed a certain detachment from the suffering of their patients, allow us to glimpse behind the curtain of their own reflections on human mortality. Asking whether we must wait for pain before we allow ourselves to rest. Together, we create an illusory reality where time ceases to exist and the loudest noise is silence.
