The majestic sanatorium looms at the top of a mountain ledge by the beautiful Lustrafjord in Sogn og Fjordane. The isolated building is on the verge of falling apart and is under threat of demolition. The building’s past as a tuberculosis sanatorium, psychiatric hospital and refugee centre is portrayed in this visually stunning documentary: through the exciting and emotional portrayals of those who have lived in the building, like the seriously ill tuberculosis patient who falls in love with the beautiful nurse, a patient nurse relationship was strictly forbidden.
