The Gods

The young doctor Zbigniew Religa, having come back from the US, intends to apply the latest world improvements in transplantology, but is blocked by the restrictions ruling the People's Republic of Poland. The old ward heads do not allow their younger colleagues to operate, while the hospital authorities ban any innovations. Even when Religa opens his own clinic and gains some independence, he does not escape the same problems -- the communist government declines funding for the equipment and medicine becomes the victim of politics.
