"The Physicists"

What happens when a person's mind is further ahead than their conscience? Three men. Three rooms. Three geniuses. And a secret that could destroy the world. In the private mental institution "Les Cerisiers," three physicists live. One believes he is Einstein. The other thinks he is Newton. And the third claims that King Solomon regularly appears to him. But behind the walls of the institution lies more than mere delusion: two nurses are dead. Murdered by the patients.

Miss Doctor Mathilde von Zahnd, the seemingly unshakeable head of the sanatorium, tries to maintain control – but when new caregivers are brought in to replace the nurses at the request of the public prosecutor's office, the fragile balance begins to falter. The masks fall. The truth comes to light.

Friedrich Dürrenmatt's classic "The Physicists" is a bitter comedy about responsibility, science, and the price of knowledge.
