I saw this film many years ago and was stricken by its realism and power. My mother was one of the people who worked in the very hospital where the epidemics started. She survived the epidemics as her father did many years before she was born.

The maker of the film together with the whole crew created a masterpiece in its' for that time almost avantguarde genre.
