Five centuries ago, the anatomist Andreas Vesalius opened up the human body to science for the first time in history. Today, this films opens the human body to the cinema. It reveals that human flesh is an extraordinary landscape that exists only through the gaze and attention of others. As places of care, suffering and hope, hospitals are the laboratories that connect every body in the world.
