|summary=A young, silent, bedraggled man walks into a hospital in 1950s Romania and collapses. He's a source of mystery to all the staff, apart from one nurse. She knows who he is and the reason for his silence. Gradually, by encouraging him to draw his memories, they relive their lives, his missing years and the shared secrets that could become a death sentence.
