What does being in treatment do to our chronically ill bodies? The Norwegian government has been sending patients with rheumatism to treatment in Montenegro since 1976. This film follows a group of patients, zooming in on their experience from Institut ”Dr. Simo Milošević” Igalo in 2023, and the programme, as the buildings where treatment is taking place, are facing challenges.

The project was funded by the Norwegian Arts Council and the Institute of Art and Media Studies, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
