| Film Details |
Ward No. 6 is a bold update of the short story by Anton Chekhov, set in a provincial psychiatric institute. The lines between documentary and fiction are blurred as a doctor leads a film crew through the many wards, which are populated by real inmates and actors speaking lines from Chekhov's text. Residing in a secure wing is a former doctor of the institution, his mind having finally succumb to the illness he once treated. A startling reminder of the frailty of sanity in the chaos of the world.
