The most difficult
thing that Veronika had to do was to say goodbye to
the
mental institution…
Veronika is a young girl
from the European country Slovenia.
She has everything anyone would ever want: a good job, many men, parents and
good friends. She
decides to commit a suicide. Veronika decides to die. (Un)fortunately,
she survives and awakes in the mental institution, where she is
told about her
disease: pills she had eaten caused a big damage on her heart. It is only a
question of five days when Death comes for her. She wants to die and she is
happy with this prognosis. She also suffers of high amount of accesses of her
disease. Veronika gets to know what the life of an insane person is like. She
has no responsibility for her acts, everything is tolerable. She meets a
schizophrenic boy there called Eduard. They fall in love with each other and
escape of the mental institution.
The interesting thing is
that Veronika was NOT
really ill. She had no heart disease. The accesses of the
disease were cause by some medicaments she had been given by nurses. Doctor
Igor told her this lie because he wanted her to know what the waiting for a
death is like. He wanted her to find the lost thirst for life. But Veronika
escaped from the mental
institution before he told her the truth. She left on
the fifth day with Eduard thinking she will die the day tomorrow. She slowly
realized that dying is not the thing she really wants. And now, she awaits the
worst not knowing the real truth…
