A young, taciturn black doctor plays the angel of death for his mother, helping her with her own euthanasia. However, in the last moment, the said mother reverses her decision to die. Her young son immediately starts her reanimation, but alas, however skilful he is, it is too late for her.
Shocked by this experience, he exchanges his residence from a city hospital to a rural one. Here he will be a confronted by a hypochondriac young woman, who soon will be revealed to be driven into this state of hopeless illness by her own mother. This situation, paralleling in some ways the faulty choice of his own past, will move him into attempts to reverse the evil happenings around her.
Alas, again, all of them will founder. What was ordained to happen, apparently MUST happen. The premonition of this feeling as well as the general soul-stirring atmosphere is a strong asset of this movie, which introduces us to serious questions as: can the evil of our past be redeemed at all? Can we avert the evil when it is happening right before our eyes? The movie seemingly answers "No", and this answer is reinforced with the sense of supernatural which somehow haunts the young medic, even provoking his injures, when he escapes from the seven-headed dragon in the cellar of his hospital. Interestingly, that dragon had 7 heads - exactly like the famous apocalyptic Beast from the Book of Revelation.
