Affecting if depressing (if not indeed distressing) portrait of a surgeon struggling in an area greatly lacking in the resources necessary for his work.

"As with Marsh, the state of Ukrainian medicine, and his topic's underlying issues of morality and mercy, director Smith merely presents them in all their heartrending complexity." - Nick Schager
