About this release
Il padre di un medico che opera in una lussuosa clinica, è in coma irreversibile. Tra le figlie di questi si scatena una lite sul comportamento moralmente più idoneo per una simile circostanza. Il cinico mondo della medicina di lusso e delle assicurazioni è sconvolto anche dalla storia di una giovane senza reni e senza speranze che chiede solo di poter morire.

Werner Ernst is a young hospital resident who becomes embroiled in a legal battle between two half-sisters who are fighting over the care of their comatose father. But are they really fighting over their father's care, or over his $10 million estate? Meanwhile, Werner must contend with his nutty supervisor, who insists that he only care for patients with full insurance. Can Werner sidestep the hospital's legal team and do what's best for the patient?
