Merci Docteur (2016)

At the age of 77, Ernst Akramov is a living legend of medicine in Kyrgyzstan. He devoted 56 years of his existence to surgery. A real priesthood for which he sacrificed his private life. Where others would have chosen fame and money, Akramov feeds on the recovery of his patients. He chose to live in a small room in his hospital to give them his full attention. But what hides the loneliness of this man devoted to the human cause?
