In 1917, the final year of WWI, Ulrich, a retired German military surgeon, is sent to run a mysterious sanatorium housing war-traumatized mental patients in a remote place in Latvia. Coming from a different culture, he finds this new world where reality mirrors fiction quite challenging, and begins to introduce a strict rule. the sanatorium caretaker Rizak’s moral lessons, love with nurse Emma, and most significantly, healing lethally-ill feral boy who lives in the surrounding forests, gives Ulrich the understanding that what his parents really need is the safety of their imaginary worlds. He gradually changes from rational, war-traumatized doctor to an understanding human healer.
