Dr. Stephanus, a cardiologist, is forced into retirement. So as not to give up his work, he returns to his hometown as a general practitioner, where he must confront the ghosts of the past and present. A blend of drama and comedy, István Szabó’s film is a parable about the later stages of life and a remarkable reflection on a career, shining a light on the hypocrisies of contemporary society.
