Add Synopsis
Storyline
The film is set in 1943 in a mental asylum in the country. But this is an unusual hospital: there are several incurable schizophrenic cases, staff is bit strange and a writer has voluntarily entered the clinic because he is "peculiar" and a drug addict. Then the German Gestapo arrives. The commandant asks for the list of patients, sorts out the "Aryan" doctors from the others on a return trip, and herds everyone into trucks for evacuation to the extermination camps. A young doctor momentarily escapes by covering himself under a pile of laundry in the basement, and then escapes to the woods just as the Nazi soldiers appear.

I have watched 'Szpital Przemienienia' several times. It is an amazing work of cinema art. An asylum - a microcosm of the world with its cruelty and rare moments of charity is about to be destroyed. Outstanding actors' work. Eerie, sinister scenery of the hospital wards and the woods surrounding the asylum. The haunting music and sounds tell the story as well as human voices and faces.
