Eva, a doctor and student of the history of medicine, discovers a manuscript by Johan Anmuth, an 18th century physician. In his Book of Vision, Anmuth focuses on the feelings, fears and dreams of over 1800 of his patients, whose spirits still wander through the pages. Immersing herself in these tales and visions, Eva questions the separation of the past, present and future, while confronting the challenges of modern medicine and its limitations with respect to her own body.

Cath Clarke Guardian Its spirituality can feel a bit cringeworthy or half baked. But I found myself giving into its mysteries. Rated: 3/5 Jan 19, 2023 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) Its unhelpful Malick-style traits are vague philosophising and a lack of recognisable human behaviour, but it’s still a film that sticks in your mind.
