The Patients

Dr. Lovro treats patients in a private psychiatric clinic through the power of music. Valentina, a retired musician, collaborates with him. Their perfect setting is disrupted by Valentina's ex-manager, leading to a clash between the power of music and the dark side of show business.

Summary

Doctor Lovro is the director of a private psychiatric clinic, and he knows that music is the best way to treat his patients.

Valentina, a famous musician who got fed up with the world of showbiz and left it to live on a deserted island, decides to help Dr. Lovro by composing music for his patients. Together, they embark on treating a colorful crowd of patients.

This perfect setting is disrupted when Valentina's ex-manager, Robert, arrives at the clinic with a tempting deal.

As Valentina and Dr. Lovro fall in love, the patients dream of becoming famous musicians, and producer Robert is willing to help them achieve that dream.

The question remains: who will prevail, the power of music or the dark side of the show business?
