A regional hospital in Daugavpils, Latvia becomes the entire world of this film, which follows the building from its maternity ward to its end-of-life care unit. Director Jean Charles Counet, filming in the summer of 2008, sets up fly-on-the-wall observation rather than narration, watching nurses move between rooms, patients wait on gurneys, and families gather at bedsides both for births and for deaths. The camera pays attention to the physical plant itself, the corridors, the shared wards, the equipment, treating the hospital's infrastructure as part of the story rather than background. Interviews with patients and staff surface alongside the observational footage, and the film notices how the institution sorts people by class, some in private rooms, others sharing space with strangers, without singling out any one case for a dramatic arc. Produced as a co-production between Belgium's Cobra Films and Finland's Illume Ltd., the film treats one building as a cross-section of an entire life cycle, compressed into wards a few hallways apart.
