The Inhalatorium
Thirteen-year-old Mara arrives at a mountain sanatorium to treat her asthma. Surrounded by mist and forest, the institution cares for the body but forgets the soul - white tiles, cold water, and the rhythm of inhalers leave the children in quiet emptiness.
When her new friend Jáchym disappears and the staff refuse to speak, Mara sets out to find him with the other children. But the landscape surrounding the sanatorium remembers its wounds. And deep within the mountains dwell on an old spirit that never forgets. As steam fills the corridors and the pipes begin to whisper, reality starts to fracture. The kids are confronted with a new kind of fear - one that will teach her to embrace both her fragility and the courage to grow up. But will they be able to save Jáchym before it is too late?
