HOSPITAL HEART OF DARKNESS
By Wojciech Korzeniowski

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

A young girl graduate of an English medical university gets a job offer in central Europe at a prestigious private clinic. The head of department is the world-famous surgeon Kurtz. For the media he is an angel, for his colleagues he is a devil greedy for money, who orders to operate first on those patients who have private insurance.

SYNOPSIS:

Her first patient is a man over 100 years old. With cancer. Metastases everywhere, skull involved, spine, pelvis minor, pleural effusion. Subarachnoid and supraarachnoid metastases to the brain. Neurosurgeons even started mannitol to keep the brain from coming out through the natural openings in the skull... Seizures. Kurtz says to operate at all costs, because he'll get 60,000 euros from the insurance company for the operation.

He leaves his protégée to supervise - she is uneducated and even stupid, but she is pretty and shapely, so she rises in the hospital hierarchy.
