A young doctor encounters corruption in the Romanian medical system.
Synopsis:
The main character, a young surgeon (passionate consumer of red apples), an excellent professional, inflexible in adhering to moral norms, is in a constant struggle with the indifference and ignorance of his peers, with their small-mindedness, with the obtuseness and careerism of the hospital director.
"Red Apples" precisely expresses the conflict between talent, professional dedication, adherence to the Hippocratic oath of the protagonist facing mediocrity, arrogance, and careerism of some colleagues who, at any cost, want to climb the professional and social ladder. The rise of the young doctor Mitică Irod, assigned to a provincial hospital, jeopardizes the position of Dr. Mitroi, the epitome of a professionally stagnant character, as the hospital director.
Mitică (enthusiastic, charismatic, and convincing in the role played by actor Mircea Diaconu) makes no compromises in his relationship with his superior, constantly reminding him of his duty and the function he represents. He ignores so-called "social conveniences" and does not compromise in addressing the hospital's problems and those of the patients. Well-intentioned and lucid, ready for personal sacrifices, he considers that he has only one real enemy in the world: death, which, unfortunately, he does not always manage to defeat.
