When The World Stood Still
Synopsis
The core of the film is our unique ability as humans to survive. It portrays four distinct, personal stories, interwoven with glimpses of various lives across Europe. Among the central figures are an unruly brothel owner in Berlin, living on the edge, and a French pharmacist with an anxious husband born in Pol Pot’s death camps. We also follow the compelling journey of an Italian doctor who sacrifices his family life with his wife and young daughter, devoting his time to take care of his patients instead. Paradoxically, he is suddenly arrested, accused of murdering some of these very patients to make room for the others he believed could survive.
