It doesn't work, but it's slow

A mysterious patient, an enigmatic nurse, and a hospital in a state of emergency: This grotesque yet poetic comedy explores pain, delusion, and the absurdities of the healthcare system—absurd, dark, and brimming with wordplay. A mysterious patient is admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound. He is in critical condition. The nurse cares for him—and tries to unravel his secret. Must she seduce him to do so? Or torture him? Or both at once? In any case, she will have to go through all the metamorphoses of pain with him and embark on a ludicrous odyssey through all the annoyances of the healthcare system: unreachable doctors, unavailable medications, incomprehensible jargon, illegible prescriptions, endless wait times, unaffordable bills, incurable wounds. Will the patient make it? Does he even want to? Who is he? Who shot him? Will the doctor ever come? Is this place really a real hospital—and is she a real nurse? Can all these questions be answered? And are they even being asked? Nothing is clear, nothing is certain, nothing is trivial, and yet nothing is entirely serious in this grotesque, enigmatic, realistic-surreal delirium full of dialogues that are both ludicrous and highly poetic, dissecting the very sensation of pain—a lonely yet unifying feeling we all know, whether it be the pain of love or world-weariness, menstrual cramps or phantom pain, the pain of pleasure or the pain of loss.
