Movie about an abandoned sanatorium in a small spa town. Constructivist building, a celebration of development, a substantiation of the architect´s humanistic vision.

The owners have no interest to take care of the building, which is not profitable. Therefore this unique monument is decaying. But what is truly dysfunctional? The building, the architecture or the society? Are we prepared to deal with modern ruins ?
