A Provincial Hospital

Kyustendil, a sleepy town in the Bulgarian mountains, has been hit by Covid, hard. In a close-knit community, patients meet former classmates in the same hospital room. Many patients live in constant fear of deteriorating quickly and being sent to the intensive care unit, where only a handful are known to have survived. Presiding over the perpetual stream of complicated cases is Dr. Popov. Tall and kind-hearted, he emits a mountain of human warmth. Unexpectedly, light and laughter echo through the hospital halls.
