Contents/Summary
- Summary
- You can lock people up in prison, or send them to the Gulag. Their body can be tortured. But what about their mind and soul, which somehow cannot be convinced that life in the Soviet Union is the epitome of happiness? You don't like the system? You are crazy! You have a serious disorder called 'sluggish schizophrenia'. Luckily it can be cured by means of the methods developed by the most distinguished Soviet psychiatrists. It is enough to lock you up in the psychiatric hospital and treat intensively for 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. You will suffer, you will feel how the soul separates from the body, forsake all hope and faith, beg for death but finally recover. The film shows the people who came to the hospital for political reasons. Their shocking narratives are juxtaposed with statements by doctors who were fully committed to the treatment of 'sluggish schizophrenia' and who are still absolutely convinced that such a disease exists.
