Awakenings

"Awakenings" is based on the true story of Dr. Oliver Sacks, who administers a new drug to catatonic patients. The drug temporarily awakens them, leading to a brief period of interaction with the world. The film explores themes of humanity, medical ethics, and the fine line between illness and wellness. Dr. Sacks' relationship with his patients, particularly Leonard, forms the heart of the story as they navigate newfound awakenings and the emotional complexities that come with them.
