MORPHINE
Dr. Benjamin has undergone heart surgery and finds himself in the predicament of acquiring almost everything the hospital has to give him in the way of other illnesses, resulting in a 6-month hospitalization and a 54-day coma. During his hospital stay, he encounters himself through morphine-induced hallucinations and the actions of his family and friends. Comedy meets philosophy.
