Everything seems to be fine in the life of a young woman who works as a paramedic. She has chosen a profession that requires understanding and compassion, but she herself needs help in quieting the restlessness in her soul. As a doctor, she lacks an emotional bond when interacting with her patients, she feels alienated from her surroundings and her fellow people.
