Éva lives cut off from the outside world in her sterile blue apartment. She is allergic to just about everything: all kinds of chemical substances, air pollution, radio waves and electronic fields. She needs to live in total isolation and cannot have contact with her environment. The slightest mistake may cause her death. Her only social interaction is with her brother and the doctors who are continuously experimenting on her. One day a psychiatrist comes to investigate whether her illness is real or if it is only in Éva’s mind. As their relationship becomes closer, her condition seems to improve. Could love be the antidote she was waiting for? Or is her condition incurable? Is she sick, or is the world making her sick? And will love be able to save her?
