SYNOPSIS
Anne, 54, shows up at medical school to be part of simulated consultations. As the students question one by one this “standardized patient” in the hopes of making the right diagnosis, the examination room becomes the scene of an absurd routine. Headaches, dizziness, memory loss: we dive with Anne into a process where words lose their meaning. Gradually, the symptoms she has learned by heart ring true, but can she escape?
