CHEMO
POLISH TITLE: CHEMIA
REPRESENTED BY KFF
Patients in an oncology clinic receive chemotherapy. Their faces can be seen in a close-up. They lie in pairs and talk. They hold fascinating conversations. Life seen from a different perspective, a distance offered by a hospital, reveals its value, sense and charm. Why so late?
