History of Illness
In a hospital where the mundane and surreal collide, Jošt’s search for answers about his tic entangles him in a web of strange events, weaving his fate with those of patients and staff around him.
In the midst of hospital renovations, sensitive Jošt is spending his day trying to find out more about the tic of his left eye that, for some reason, won't show itself in front of medical personnel. Meanwhile, a surgeon is struggling to explain an intuitive feeling caused by a bad dream, while a hungry patient is waiting for his surgery that keeps getting postponed. On the same day, the main nurse for quality control gets a birthday surprise, even though her birthday was last month, a determined pigeon is trying to get inside the hospital, and a thirsty patient keeps struggling to reach her glass of water. By next morning, the leftovers of a strawberry cake will cause an allergic reaction, Jošt will wet his bed and two people will die.
