Plot
The reunion of a group of former medical students results in a flood of bitter memories.
Sinekatalog’s take
A reunion of old medical-school friends opens a flood of bitter memories and political disillusion. Sharp and angry, it examines what time and compromise do to a generation. A pointed, thoughtful drama for fans of Eastern European cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
