Dr. Martin Blake, who has spent his life looking for respect, meets an 18-year-old patient named Diane, suffering from a kidney infection, and gets a much-needed boost of self-esteem. However, when her health starts improving, Martin fears losing her, so he begins tampering with her treatment, keeping Diane sick and in the hospital right next to him.

VIBE

This film feels like a slow descent into a suffocating obsession. It's a chilling character study about loneliness and the desperate need for connection, wrapped in a tense, unsettling atmosphere. The clinical setting amplifies the psychological unease.
