SYNDROMES AND A CENTURY is a film in two parts which sometimes echo each other. The two central characters are inspired by the film-maker's parents, in the years before they became lovers. The first part focuses on a woman doctor, and is set in a space reminiscent of the world in which the film-maker was born and raised. The second part focuses on a male doctor, and is set in a more contemporary space much like the world the film-maker lives in.
