A film about people The plot of the film is quite simple and straightforward: a young, self-confident and slightly proud doctor after graduating in a prestigious place against his will goes to a hospital for the poor, where he meets the harsh chief doctor of this hospital, nicknamed Redbeard. Further, the viewer observes the internal changes of the protagonist, which occur in connection with the events taking place around, and also shows the change in the attitude of the young doctor to Red Beard, which at first caused dislike, but ultimately helps the main character to see himself and deserves respect, becoming an example.
But it is due to the fact that the film shows the inner growth and formation of a person, it so touches and does not leave indifferent. Showing not only external events, but also how they affect the hero and change him and his attitude to everything, he involuntarily leads the viewer to reflection and makes him look at himself.
But in my opinion, the film is not so much about doctors and the hospital, as it is about people, about growth, about kindness, about care, dedication. The film shows that there is light in every person, no matter what his story. I remember the Dalai Lama saying that one of the principles that guides him is the belief in the primordial goodness of all people.
When you watch the film, there is no doubt that it is kindness and compassion that are characteristic of a person, and evil in the world is due to the mutilation of the human soul, which needs treatment and care, like a sick body.
The story of a sick girl from a brothel best confirms this when we see how she recovers and instead of fear and anger begins to feel compassion and a desire to help, despite the fact that her mother taught her not to trust anyone since childhood. Even children's installations are not as strong as the inner nature of man.
The moment with the girl is not the only and not the most vivid, but each of the stories in the film is very strong and in one way or another raises the question of morality and kindness.
And even a three-hour film flies in one breath, so strong are all the stories in the film.
