Working-class medical graduate Jo has just arrived in Berlin eager to begin his internship at a large, reputable clinic. The paltry pay and endless overtime hours do not dishearten him as much as the realization that he cannot provide his patients the help and human warmth they deserve and need. Most important to him is his goal to become a research physician: to find a cure for his brother Willi, who, strapped in a wheelchair, suffers from a severe muscle disease. Things take an unexpected turn when a nurse asks him to perform an unauthorized operation on the daughter of a colleague. Despite his initial rejection, he agrees when he recognizes the child´s serious condition. The operation is successful and Jo's involvement comes to the attention of the charismatic Professor Mueller-Larousse. Larousse reads Jo's dissertation, expresses interest in his research, and invites Jo to the weekly gatherings of his research salon. Now as a member of Larousse's elite, his workday changes like night and day. The stress disappears, but in its place comes a compromising situation that challenges not only Jos scruples, but almost costs him his life and career. Reviews:
